The novelty of Christmassy shopping malls in Bangkok wasn't lost on any of us.
This is the Police HQ. It made both Harv and I think of the Ministries in 1984...
BKK traffic is sooooo much prettier than KTM traffic - check out the lipstick coloured taxis....
We loved the boat ride up the river so much last year we did it again this year.
Here's a Christmas tree made from the sand bags left around the city after the floods in November.
And so to the beach....
Picking over the shell treasure...
Post swimming snacking...
A night time beach walk home from the restaurant.
Here's Eve's entry for the Christmas card competition - love the creative spelling - she won the second prize!
Christmas Eve dinner.
Then look who turned up......
He brought a present for every child. Eve got shorts and a t-shirt, and Noah got a dinosaur egg.....
On Christmas day the beach was, um, not available.....
So we hung out by the pool and played with the pressies.
For dinner we all had our favourites - Noah and Thom shared cheesey pizza, Eve had tempura prawns, and Harv and I shared this:
On Boxing Day Noah and I went for a bike ride to check out what the storm had done further down the coastal road - and a couple of miles from the resort we found this!
Then back to BKK for a wee bit more shopping......this time looking for new trainers for Daddy....
.....and a play date with our old neighbour, Martina, who introduced us to the turtles in her park......
Merry Christmas to all our family and friends!
