Kids on Loy Krathong holiday

Some of the adorable little faces I found while walking around during Loy Krathong on wed.

Loy Krathong!

Today was a national holiday--Loy Krathong. I will do a big blog on my travel blog but here are couple cool pictures of the night (I haven't taken my camera class for night :( photos but I cheated and used a flash at times)....I may use a few more from tonight for later this week.

A single Krathong (MANY different types of these)
A group of more colorful KrathongsThen you light the candle and incense..Say a prayer and place it in the water...

Herbie on Walkingstreet

No idea why or for what but randomly in the middle of walking street there was Herbie!

Gay, Metrosexual, or just loves hanging out with hot women?

My friend Tom joined me, mia and lakshmi at the spa today. He got his first manicure and pedicure.....and WOW did it make him all nice and smooth. Wonder if I can get troy in for one?

Ko Lan Part 2

More from yesterday. So we thought we would go to the island and have a nice day on the beach. Well the weather went bad on us---and fast!

Here was the big storm cloud that hit us.The wind just came out of no where!Then the sky got DARK and it down-poured! (not sure yet how to catch rain on my camera-but its pouring in this picture!)So our wonderful outside on the beach turned into drinking in the storm room! LOL

Ko Lan Part 1

Today we headed out to Ko Lan (coral island) and hung out at the beach. Here are some of the interesting people we found....
Notice the odd thing about this picture.....
.........Yep they are playing catch with a can they found floating in the water (the waves were bad and pulled tons of garbage on the shore---but more about the weather in Part 2!)

Many people try to take video/pictures of me when they think I'm not looking-
Kid showing off when he realized I had a camera-A good example of how Thai people don't wear swimsuits-

Poker Night

We do poker nights every so often, and last night we got a game of 8 people! I was first one out, which was fine since Troy won! ($100)
