EP 255 Anne & Kelli chat about Thailand & the lifechanging journey that happens every time

Join Anne & Kelli for their 255th NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast

This episode is all about their recent trip to Thailand…the incredible parts, the hilarious parts and of course the travel ups and downs.

They start the show off talking about getting to Bangkok via Salt Lake City (for a one-night stop) and then on to Seoul and then finally Bangkok on their favorite airline Delta. They also talk about why being faithful to one airline is so important. They chat about the pre-trip at The Siam, a gorgeous boutique hotel in Bangkok (where they recorded 2 TikToks) and then moving on a few days later to the stunning Four Seasons where they met up with the rest of the KelliGregg Travel group and their guides Thippie and Tony.

Next, they chat about touring the Grand Palace, everyone’s first Thai massage and the hilarious reactions people had, traveling to Ayutthaya Historical Park to see the ancient ruins, having dinner at NOBU on the rooftop, Anne waking up with a green gummy bear stuck in her pajamas, going to the Floating Market and drinking lots of Chang beer, learning the Kindergarten Elephant Song thanks to their tour guide Tony and wrapping up the trip with Thai dancers, drinks and lots of laughs in the Four Seasons lobby bar.

Hear all about their next part of the trip in Chiang Mai where they began by having a lunch of Khao Soi, a traditional dish in that region that is sweet potato noodles! Next, they took a trishaw tour of Chiang Mai and Anne’s driver was very old and skinny so other drivers where helping push her cart along. The following day they headed to Patara Elephant Farm & Sanctuary. They had the most incredible experiences that you have to hear to believe that included feeding the elephants, brushing them, and bathing them in the rushing river. After that day they went to a Night Market where they shopped for gifts and then they went to a Cabaret Show that was filled with gorgeous drag queens with fab costumes and lots of choreography and backup dancers! Finally they had a full crafty day starting with indigo tie dying, painting traditional Thai umbrellas and ending with a cooking class where they made their own 4 course dinner.

Lastly, they talk about their final leg of the trip that ended in Phuket at their favorite hotel The Slate. Every guest traveling with them had their own pool suite which means a private backyard with a big plunge pool, and outdoor bathtub, lounge chairs, a couch and a table and chairs. It is a magical place. In Phuket they spent one day on a speed boat traveling to an island where they kayaked through caves, went swimming, visited James Bond Island where one of the movies was filmed and had more Chang beer on the beach. Another day they shopped in Old Town Phuket and took a sunset cruise on a luxury catamaran. The rest of the trip was spent relaxing at the resort and enjoying one more day at the spa. Now they are home recovering from jetlag before they head out on another Celebrity Cruise where Anne is performing!

They next do their travel hacks. This week Kelli talks about using toothpaste to treat mosquito bites and Anne talks about traveling with bathroom wipes especially in places like Thailand where they may not provide paper in the bathrooms.
