Last month I went back to Thailand. The land I love. I have been  wanting to go back since I left 4 years ago and this trip did not disappointment. I was able to revisit and experience some of the things I had seen when I served as a student missionary there. I went to film for my job, Adventist Mission. Be on the lookout for some of our stories on the next DVD.

I began my journey in Bangkok, which is not my favorite place in the world, but it was still great to be back in the Thai culture. I was there for a few days and then made my way up to Chiang Mai. I LOVE Chiang Mai. Of all the cities I have been to, it is my favorite. I spent most of my trip in northern Thailand amongst the hill tribes and rural Thai culture. It was great to go back and spend time in the land of smiles.

Above are some of my experiences.
