Thailand - Khao Lak + Koh Lanta

Jen, Sylvia, Chris, and I. It was really awesome to see them for Christmas. Although only a few days, we had a good time together.

On our snorkel trip down south Koh Lanta. Amazing stuff. I wish I could take pictures underwater.















Same snorkel trip, we stopped on this island for lunch. Incredibly beautiful.
















This was the nightly view from our bungalow.

New Year's Eve- Gigi was on fire. She was a dancing machine. I tried for a few minutes but just couldn't keep up.

Our most gracious and lovely hosts, Ying and Lake. They took such good care of us and we are indebted to them for our good times and happy stomachs.

Our home for 8 nights on Koh Lanta.

Thailand - Chiang Mai

Part 2 includes more Chiang Mai-

Oh my...I look like Gilligan

Cookin up some hot stuff at Thai cooking school.

Yes...that is an elephant to the left. And, yes, the elephant is throwing darts at the balloons. Oh...and, how could I forget, that is Jen to the right competing against the elephant in darts. There were a couple of hundred people watching. The elephant won.

When the elephant is hungry, the elephant eats.

Don't really need to explain this one. Just riding an elephant...what?

I thought this elephant was going to take me out...





















This guy was a bit crazy. Kissing cobras just aren't my thing.


























The python was actually pinching him pretty hard. Jen ended up helping pull the snake off his neck...no kidding.




























Monkey?

Poor little baby monkey in the cage.
