Thailand

Thailand, my most recent trip. This one has a special place in my heart. I got to spend 3 weeks in this amazing country, 2 of them with my grandmother and grandfather who live here. This was more than just a trip - it was time spent learning about my roots and heritage. My grandmother is from here, while my grandfather was stationed in Udon Thani with the Air Force. They met and had my mother, who was also born in Thailand. Growing up, everyone had lived in the States, but my grandmother always wanted to go back, and she moved home almost 12 years ago. I hadn't seen her in 10. Finally an opportunity arose, and my aunt, sister, and I were all free in December, so we booked our flights. We stayed in Udon Thani for most of the trip but also spent a weekend in Phuket and the last few days in Bangkok. I definitely took more images in her hometown, trying to document my family and their culture. When we traveled to the other areas, they were more awe-inspired images. I'll always remember this trip for the time spent with family, the food, and the iconic scenery. I can't wait to go back.
