In Thailand, a bpai tiao is a trip of any length. I’ve written about some of my more significant bpai tiaos to tourist destinations here, to be used as travel ideas and tips.
Way back in 2012 when I found out I was coming to Thailand and I was making preparations like packing and stocking up on underwear and riap roy clothes, I also had a couple conversations with my dad mostly centered about the topic of travel.
Would I want to come back to the States to visit? (I originally said no, changed my mind once I got here and then changed it again, then got a trip back as a Blog It Home winner.) Would my parents come to visit me in Thailand? (Yes, but in 2014 because they were already planning on a cruise of the Mediterranean for 2013.)
I was a little skeptical that they would come, but earlier this month they touched down for their first time ever in Asia (on the same day that I got back from Bhutan! Told you it’s been a whirlwind) and we hit some highlights of Thailand. First stop: the beaches of Koh Ngai, one of the Trang Islands in the Andaman Sea.
