Elephant Tales: Sed Laao
http://nelephanttales.blogspot.com/2011/11/sed-laao.html
Sunday, November 13, 2011. With only a few days left of my travels, I knew I had to end it in my favorite place, Chiang Mai. I had bought my plane ticket home based around Loy Krathong. And the YeePeng Festival. But now, it's time to go back to Boston.to see my family and my adorable little nephew. I'm sure it will be a tough transition, and my heart will still be in Thailand, but at the same time, I'm excited to start anew in the good ole U S of A. So watch out, America.here I come.

Elephant Tales: Happy Easter
http://nelephanttales.blogspot.com/2011/04/happy-easter.html
Sunday, April 24, 2011. Happy Easter from Thailand! No Easter Bunny for me this year, but the Easter Elephant will do just fine :) It is definitely sad to be away from the family and miss out on some killer Easter egg hunts and 12 straight hours of eating. No Cadbury Eggs, no Peeps, no Robin's Eggs for me. Instead, I get to delight myself with this Thai dessert:. Via Gingerbread Bagels- an AMAZING baking blog. You should take a look! Or a re-make of this:. Enjoy those chocolate bunnies! Wellit was more l...

Elephant Tales: July 2011
http://nelephanttales.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 27, 2011. A few weeks ago I had reminisced about my time in Thailand and realized that many cultural shocks had no longer phased me. But, as I thought back on all of my experiences and looked at my current lifestyle, I realized that there is still a handful of things that leave me saying "What the? So, just so I can indulge myself in my love of lists, here are some of those things that just haven't settled in quite yet. Bugs: Not much needs to be said here. I'm over bugs creeping and ...

Elephant Tales: No Tuk-Tuks, No Massages...and DON'T call me Lady
http://nelephanttales.blogspot.com/2011/10/no-tuk-tuks-no-massagesand-dont-call-me.html
Thursday, October 27, 2011. No Tuk-Tuks, No Massages.and DON'T call me Lady. I was so excited to be back in Cambodia, and especially to see Angkor Wat. I was a little startled, however, when we neared the town and floodwater filled the streets. I ya. The taxi couldn't quite make it through the water, so Krissy and I hiked up our skirts and waded through knee deep water to get to the hostel. All part of the adventure, right? Te Phrom, my favorite temple! Posted by Nell Riccio. View my complete profile.

Real Thailand vs. Parallel Thailand | Bangkok Reality Smackdown

Challenge: Getting on a Plane and… →. July 21, 2011 · 10:07 am. Real Thailand vs. Parallel Thailand. UPDATE: Okay, I put a password on this post for a bit, but now I’ve just decided to edit the post and take off the password. In case you even noticed and were wondering (I’m SURE you were), I got some nasty comments on one of those nasty anonymous. Although, frankly, I think I took about the most interesting and funny part of the whole post, but whatever. Real Thailand for me is the Thailand. Outside my c...

Elephant Tales: The Perfect Remedy
http://nelephanttales.blogspot.com/2011/10/perfect-remedy.html
Saturday, October 15, 2011. We did the normal touristy jazz in Bangkok and may have had another epic night involving 25 Hours. Where these giant stone sculptures, depicting various religious and non-religious concepts, tower over you. It was really different and I enjoyed walking around, although the descriptions were only in Thai. Mai Pen Rai. You'll have to excuse my lack of pictures, but without my laptop, I can't upload my pictures. I swear I will actually make a facebook album when time allows.
