Today I am going to a country called
The place in Thailand that I am going to is called Phuket. I am going with my mum, dad and brother. Thailand is part of the continent Asia. Asia is a very big continent.
I have never been to Thailand before so I am very excited. I have been to Fiji before and I hope my holiday in Thailand is as good as the holiday I had in Fiji.
Thailand is very different to Australia.
Here are some facts about Thailand:
- Their currency is Baht.
- The capital city of Thailand is Bangkok.
- They speak Taiwanese
- In 2011 the population of Thailand was 66,720,153

Dear Skye,
I have been to Thailand before. I went on a holiday with Mrs Morris a few years ago, and we went to Bangkok and then Phuket.
It was a great holiday because the two places are so different. Bangkok is a busy, bustling city with lots to do, including shopping malls, museums and temples. Phuket is also busy (especially the shopping areas!) but there are beaches, elephant treks and islands to explore.
I enjoyed my time in Thailand but as you know, my favourite holiday destination is New York City!
I hope you have a wonderful holiday full of fun! I look forward to hearing about your adventures when you get back.
Your teacher,
Miss Jordan

Dear Miss Jordan,
Wow, I only published this post about 4 minutes ago and you have already left a comment!!! Sorry if I did to many exclamations marks.
My mum said that Bangkok is very busy as well. We are flying to Bangkok and then hopping on another plane and flying to Phuket. I am going to be very tired because I will be getting there in the middle of the night and I struggle to sleep on planes.
Thanks for telling me about Bangkok and Phuket. I am very excited about going to Phuket and my family really want to ride on the elephants. Do kids my age have to go on with an adult on the elephants?
I really want to go to New York City when I grow up! America seems like a very exciting and interesting place.
I am planning on taking a diary to Phuket. I might put a post up about my holiday if there is any Internet cafes.
Your student,
Skye
P.S. Tell everyone in our class that I said hi, please.

Dear Skye,
Thanks for your reply! I am guessing you will be arriving in Thailand soon, although I’m not sure how long your stopover in Bangkok is.
I think it’s probably a good idea for kids to go on an elephant with an adult. I’m guessing you and Brodie will each go with your mum or dad. Mrs Morris and I rode the same elephant. I love elephants, they are so enormous but so gentle.
Good idea writing a holiday diary, it’s always nice to re-read diaries to remind yourself of the fun you had.
I am sure you will go to America one day, and I’m sure you’ll love it!
Have a wonderful holiday, Skye!
Your teacher,
Miss Jordan

Dear Miss Jordan,
I am back from Thailand now!! I had a great time and was sad and happy to leave. I can’t wait to get back to school on either Thursday or Friday. My uncle and aunty just had a baby so I might be going to see them tomorrow. They live in Melbourne.
I went on an elephant with my mum. Our elephant was so slow. It was 59 years old. Elephants can live up to 120 years old.
Yeah, I thought writing a holiday diary would be good. When we were leaving I was trying to find a Travel diary for me to take with me. Then my gran walked into our house and gave me a travel diary, so good timing!
Your student,
Skye

Dear Sabrina,
I have just got back from Thailand.
Yes, it is extremely hot in Thailand. 34 degrees every day. It can even get hotter. So when I arrived at the airport in Australia I was so cold!
They do have elephants. I rode on one for 1 hour. It was fun but our elephant was pretty slow. The other ones were faster.
Bye,
Skye

Thailand is one of the most beautiful countries in the world with amazing culture and beautiful scenery. The Thai people are incredibly friendly, but also can be very persistent! Beware of pick pocketers.

Hello!
Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. Just wondering how did you find my blog?
Yes, Thailand is a beautiful country and I hope to go there again. The Thai people are friendly, especially to my younger brother. They were always touching him and patting him on the head.
Thai people are very persistent. They are always asking people that are walking down the street ‘Do you want this’. If they say no they do or get something else.
It sounds like you have been to Thailand, have you?

Hello again!
I found your blog just by googling the subject of Thailand as I love it that much!
Yes I have been fortunate enough to visit Thailand a couple of times! I went to Bangkok, Chang Mai, Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Phi Phi and Phuket! I think the island of Phi Phi is the most beautiful of them all! Amazing stuff!
