Travel Stories - March 2024
Bangkok: Temples, Markets, and Food
​On our first day in Bangkok, daughter Jill and I saw 'Bangkok by Night' on a tuk-tuk tour of markets, temples, and more. The tour was a great start to our 16-day adventure in Asia.
Bangkok: The Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and Khon
Our guided tour, 'In and Around Bangkok,' lived up to its name, as Jill and I explored The Grand Palace and Wat Pho, dined on authentic Thai cuisine, and watched a wonderful performance at the Royal Theater. We had a wonderful day!  
Welcome Aboard the Crystal Symphony!
Jill and I said, "Goodbye Bangkok and hello Crystal Symphony," as it was time to begin our 12-day cruise through Southeastern Asia. My early experiences onboard the luxurious Symphony exceeded my expectations! 
Chachoengsao: Live Like a Local
The Crystal Symphony was docked in Laem Chabang, and from there I traveled to the town of Chachoengsao to visit an ancient market and a legendary Buddha. Spoiler Alert: I had a great time!
Simply Sihanoukville
Jill and I toured Sihanoukville - Wat Leu Pagoda, Psar Leu Market, a fishing village, and more. It was a wonderful experience!
My Perfect Day at Sea
​This was a sea day aboard the Crystal Symphony - a day of rest, relaxation, and fun from start to finish!
Ho Chi Mihn City: Mekong by Boat and Rickshaw
Jill and I toured the Mekong Delta, a full day excursion that included a scenic drive through the countryside from Ho Chi Minh City to Ben Tre and boat rides along picturesque canals and rivers. We made memories for a lifetime!
