Day before yesterday we did visited a museum/old Thai palace. More ruins were involved.
 |
| This palace belonged to King Narai of the 1600's who conducted a lot of trade and agreements with other countries, esp. the French. |
 |
| Elizabeth and Brandon |
 |
| No one is guarding any of this stuff, and no one trashes it. I feel like this would never happen in the states. |
 |
| This was inside a the remnants of the elephant stables |
Then we headed back to town.
 |
| So many monkeys (ling). I try to avoid this part of town now - walking down this street is like running the Ling Gauntlet! |
 |
| Fresh Thai donuts were SO good. |
 |
| NOMNOMNOMNOMNOM |
Our favorite hangout in town has become this little cafe. It is the downstairs room in a children's art school.
 |
| Apple smoothie! |
 |
| Brandon's omelet sandwich |
 |
| He runs the cafe, speaks a little bit of English and is very friendly :D |
 |
| Scooters. Are. Everywhere. |
A ling eyes Brandon's donut he's carrying in a bag and makes a leap for it.... Better luck next time, Lingy!
 |
| Back of the minibus is the best! |
 |
| Matt |
 |
| Yep, I got another pair of jelly flippies, and the speeding asphalt is only mere inches beneath our feet! |
 |
| People love to wave and say hello when they see a Falang! |
 |
| Babies are often on scooters, sometimes the whole family manage to fit on one! |
 |
| This has been our breakfast stop the past few days |
Pieter and Santipot take us out on the town to a nightclub called "The Bank"
 |
| Fashion show of a dress I got at the night market! |
 |
| If you're going to come out of the closet, Thailand is a great place to do it. |
 |
Ok Mom, here's an example of a Thai toilet. You put your feet on the sides and squat. Takes a little more coordination, but it's really not a bad way to pee.
|
 |
| Thai whiskey. Never again. |
 |
| Apparently all Thai nightclubs have dancing girls... that's just how Thai's roll. |
 |
| David, Me, Elizabeth, Matt |
 |
| This was like a Thai ska/alternative band and they were really good! |
 |
| We were dancing up front and the band noticed us Falang. They got really excited and pointed us out to the rest of the crowd! |
 |
| My first picture with a Thai ladyboy! |
