Thailand

As promised, Thailand pictures...

First there was Chiang Mai...

Oh man, can you handle the cuteness!

Yup, that's me and Erin riding an elephant. Don't we look natural?

Chiang Mai is famous for its temples. This is Wat Chedi Luang.


Then there was Bangkok...

Here we are shopping...again. This is the Chatuchak Weekend Market. There was thousands upon thousands of stalls. I felt like we visited each one. In reality, we barely scratched the surface.

Here my mom and I are at Jim Thompson's house. Mr. Thompson revitalized the Thai silk industry in the 60s. The story does not end there...oh no, Mr. Thompson mysteriously disapeared on a walk while on a trip to Malaysia in 1967. Crazy, no?

An unexpected event rocked our New Year's Eve.

New Year's day was spent at the Grand Palace. This place was just breathtaking. The detail just blows me away.

A great way to see Bangkok is by long-tail boat.

Of course, there was the Wat Pho Buddha. He was big and beautiful.

Thailand is a place like no other. So rich. It will be unforgettable, that's for sure.

Seeing your photos, and Erin's, has been a real treat. Hong Kong and Thailand are two places that amaze me when I see pictures and you have shown some grand sights. You and Erin DO look quite natural on that elephant!

Amazing photos! It looks like you had a fantastic time. I have now vowed that I will ride an elephant one day.
