Thailand is a land of rich history and tradition. Although I have
only been here a short time, I have made many friends and are addicted to
its exciting cuisines. I can't wait to find out what tomorrow holds
for me!

Floating Market
Though not Venice, it is a lot of fun sitting on a boat and have people selling stuff. |

Soooo Sweet...
No, those are things flying around are not flies but bees. Now you have an idea how sweet the candies next to the cook are. |

Nakhon Pathom
Phra Pathom Chedi is the tallest Buddhist monument in the world. The market around it is also lots of fun. |

Elephant on the Street
Here, they have elephants walking around at night where people can take pictures with and for 20B you get to feed the animal. I feel a sorry for the big guy though. He has to navigate the terrible traffic in Bangkok... |

Traditional Thai Dance
Very expressive art and extremely entertaining. Too bad I don't understand Thai |
|
|

The Dark Side of Thailand
This street is catered specifically to Japanese man... The next over is for other foreigners and the next over for gays and lesbians... Sigh... |
|

Tuktuk
I just have to say this "avoid it if you can, a taxi is a much better value." |
|

Chatuchak Market
Nui looks so cute doesn't she? |
|
|
Now All Together...
