Happy Halloween!

It is now November 1st, and our first major holiday has come to a close: Halloween. While it was a bummer to not be at home, we did enjoy ourselves here in PP.

With 20,000+ ex-pats living in PP, holidays--thankfully--are not overlooked. About a week ago, I heard about a tuk-tuk Halloween that was happening, where multiple families around BKK (fancy, smancy part of PP where many wealthy, paid ex-pats live) would be decorating their homes and inviting trick-or-treaters to partake in some fun.

Families just needed to hire their own tuk-tuk and have the driver take them around. We have a very friendly guy we often call for family outings, and we first met him when he was driving around town with his kids in the tuk-tuk. He asked if we needed a ride (we did) and if we minded that his kids were in the tuk-tuk, too (we didn't). Sila took to the kids very quickly, and we enjoy the father as well. He is one of the few drivers who speaks really great English.

Anyway, we called him up, invited his kids to come, and went around BKK for some Halloween fun! All the kids had fun, and the driver's kids got to experience their first Halloween. We were happy we could offer this opportunity to them.

Some homes handed out candy, while other homes decorated extensively, complete with mazes for the kids and beer for the parents! We visited around 20 homes in total and finished the night exhausted but pleased with our Halloween festivities.

As I close, I offer my hopes that your Halloween was just as enjoyable and unique in its own way. Big hugs from afar!
