We have a lot of love for Bangkok, but lately we’ve all felt the need to get out of the urban sprawl and find some fresh air, places to run, and new things to do.  This past weekend we did just that – and it was excellent!  We visited a friend’s country home in Nakhon Nayok Province (about a 1.5 hour drive from the city) and spent the day riding ponies, playing with piglets, paddle-boating on (clean!) klongs, biking, running around, and taking in nature.  If you have the opportunity to visit the Thai countryside, do it.  It was a much needed respite from our classic weekend routine.  Below are some pictures from the day.
