thailand - the country of smiles

monks at work in a temple -



we saw so many buddahs, in all shapes and sizes, that ultimately, we started seeing them in neon!





the monster +- 25m temple - even brighter and prouder than anything we had seen before. imagine, all that shimmering gold! (really, really)






this is one of our means of transport.
this is a 2nd class bus - not even the lowest of classes, my friends. a slight nightmare!

so thats pretty much a breif summary of our trip. on our last day, we ended up taking it easy and over-eating everything we started to love (ie: banana pancakes soaked in condensed milk, watermelon shakes, noodles with a veg called 'morning glory etc). i fell in love with an enormous brass bell - it happens after awhile.
we passed a market whilst walking around and there were just fish! loads of loads of them...AND they didnt really stink - clever thais!
