Mai Khao, Thailand (April, 2015)

The Kemps took off and headed back to Perth while the Bollard and Whippermans continued the Thailand adventure in Mai Khao. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Mai Khao for 2 nights using 15,000 IHG rewards points per night. As Platinum IHG members, we were upgraded to a family suite, which had an awesome kids room with their own bathroom with kids-sized sinks, toilets, and shower.

The resort was right on the beach.  The beach was incredibly clean and deserted, which was a refreshing change coming from Phuket. The only downside was that there really wasn't much to do outside of the resort since Mai Khao was so isolated from everything.

 Our beach for the next 2 days.

 Um...wow...what a stunningly beautiful wife.

It was the New Year's festival (Songkran) when we were staying at the hotel, so they had parades, music, dancing, and shows going on most of the time.  There was even a huge water fight at the end.  Songkran is about praying for rain and somebody listened since by the end of the festival it was pouring.

 Heading to the Songkran festival.

Sawyer wasn't too excited when random people began rubbing wet clay all over her face for the celebration.

Some video of our Songkran water fight.
