The most enchanting experience at Mae Sa Elephant Camp in Chiang Mai, Thailand, is being able to interact with the elephants.

You can buy bunches of bananas or sugar cane to feed to the elephants. It only costs about fifty cents per bunch.

It is impossible not to smile (and feel a little nervous) [...]

Mom Most Traveled and family are in Chiang Mai, Thailand right now, and we are having tons of fun!
Yesterday, we went to elephant camp.
What do you do at elephant camp?

Well, it’s all about the elephants of course! And, they get to do pretty much all of the same things I did when I was a [...]

As a mom, I am always fascinated with cultural differences in parenting.
In Laos, there isn’t a mind-numbing variety of “must-have” baby items like in the U.S. In fact, when Jojo was a four months old, his first car journey in Laos drew a crowd of neighbors.
As we were getting ready to leave, my neighbor said, [...]

Show Us Your Mug

Since we are all here at the Tea Party, I thought we could show off our favorite mugs and tea sets.
Everyone has a special mug that is “theirs”; you know, the old faithful, the go-to mug. The one you get kind of upset if someone else is using it.

This is mine. It is from a [...]

Delicious Baby, a website about Making Travel With Kids Fun, invites you to share your travel photos every Friday.
These are from a shopping trip on Thursday in Udon Thani, Thailand.
Sorry about the blur; I was trying to be incognito and not draw attention to myself taking photos inside of the store.
I used to always buy [...]

I saw this new sign when we were driving from across the border from Vientiane, Laos to Nong Khai, Thailand.
The DIP-OFFICIAL CAR lane, for dips!
Obviously it is intended for diplomats, but what an honor to travel through the DIP line!

I resisted the urge to buy this “ROCKING Little Elephant” in Thailand. It is inflatable.

SPROCKETS! Deeds [...]

Culinary Delights of Laos

I just wanted to share two of the many foods that I enjoy in Laos.

In Laos there is a lot of buzz about a little dish called papaya salad.
When I first heard about “papaya salad”, I pictured a lovely syrupy sweet fruit salad, perhaps artfully carved complete with butterflied pineapple.
In reality, papaya salad, or (Tam [...]

Thailand has a wide variety of disposable diapers available, especially in large cities. These pictures are from a Tesco Lotus store in Udon Thani, Thailand.
Mamy Poko are some of the most absorbent diapers available. I think they are even better than diapers in the States. I had a bit of a shock when we went [...]

Baby Food in Thailand (and Laos)

Laos imports almost everything from Thailand (or China). There are not many factories in Laos; only a few places produce select commodities like clothing, Pepsi, Beer Lao, and coffee.
Packaged/jarred baby food is available widely in Thailand at stores like Tesco-Lotus or 7 Eleven (I can personally vouch for this in the cities of Bangkok, [...]
