About my vacation

I want to tell you about my wonderful, sad, and gorgeous vacation I had in Thailand, Ko Samet, Bankok and Holland.


At first I went to the airport to catch a flight. When we arrived in Bankok there was a really nice man, who showed us the way and helped us get a taxi. When we got a taxi, with a very nice driver, he told us how long the drive would take, he told us it would take three hours.

The driver didn't drop us off at our destination, but at a speed boat that was waiting for us. It took us to the Ao Phrao Resort, a nice, romantic, and most importantly, beautiful resort. The resort was on the beach, and a variety of restaurants and guest houses.


When we arrived at the resort, three people ran up to us, two strong men and one woman. The woman was from the guest houses, and the men were porters. Another man came and offered us fruit cocktails. Everyone seemed very nice. We felt happy when we arrived. After all the traveling I felt too tired to even keep my eyelids open. I had a good night's sleep and didn't wake up until late the next morning.


The first day I explored the area. I found a snake, a knife and a dead fish. We stayed at Ao Phrao Resort for a week and returned to Bankok to see the city center.


In Bankok we had this really small, cute hotel. There was a shower in the closet, a bath and a jacuzzi, and of course... a toilet. We had stairs in the room. The same day my brother and I stayed up all night and watched seven movies. The next morning we were so tired that we fell asleep while eating breakfast.

While at the hotel, my grandmother called my mom and dad to say that my grandfather was in the hospital. We all rushed back to Holland to see my grandfather. We stayed in a hotel, but visited my grandfather twice a day.


A week later, we returned to Malayasia and waited for news from my grandmother. Today, we are still waiting.
