We have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand(泰国). All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.

Tuesday, March 27th

Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.

Friday，March 30th

Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life -- no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.

Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport(飞机场) is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for the plane to take off and it is often late. You can’t open the windows. You can’t choose the food. Planes are fast, but you have to take hours to go out of the airport and into the city.
I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe(安全的)?Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows .You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.
I also like cars. You can start your journey when you want to, and you don’t need to get to a railway station or bus stop. It’s very convenient(方便的) for you to carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.
