More Floats

Every float has it's own beauty queen also!

Loi Krathong night, Chiang Mai.

Loi Krathong is a three day festival that builds in momentum day by day, culminating on the full moon. This is the third night, and these are two of literally dozens of amazing floats in this parade. The streets were lined with people for miles and miles packed in to be a part of the experience. It was the longest parade I have ever seen.

Last night!!!

Bangkok-Here we are in the back of a tuk tuk on our way to the infamous red light district of Pat Pong. It was our final night in Thailand, and we were looking for the street stall goods... fried shrimp balls, fish cakes, maybe a pad thai. Instead we found the best Indian food in Bangkok (Himali Cha Cha) and ended the night with a decent Thai massage. With a final tuk tuk ride back to the River View our adventures in Thailand were rapidly coming to an end.

Pop gawn mai, Chiang Mai!!

All packed up and loaded in the back of the sawngthaew... At the moment we were busting at the seams with woks, burners and many other kitchen and food items we were excited to be bringing home with us. It was sad to say goodbye to Chiang Mai, but I have a strong feeling we will be back. It is a beautiful, exotic city with so much to offer a curious mind and lover of history. So we say "See you later".... not goodbye! Notice we are both in our yellow shirts to honor The King. This year is his 80th birthday and his 60th year on the throne... EVERYONE celebrates by wearing yellow shirts with his symbol on the front. We joined in the spirit...
