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!
Lovely to see a different kind of christmas. Love the picture of you xxx
ReplyDeleteFab piccies; you look amazing; Thailand obviously agrees with you!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures Roofy - so pretty. Happy New Year to you all over there! xxx
ReplyDeleteRuth, you weren't far from us! We were in Kuala Lumpur until just a few days before Christmas. If you ever fancy coming down to KL, perhaps we can coordinate overlapping visits and we can treat you to a few homecooked meals at my parents'! I'd love to have you stay but I'm not sure all five of you would be comfortable as we've really only got one small guest room, alas....
ReplyDeletePreets, we met a family from KL at the resort in Hua Hin - they have only been there six months but really enjoy living there...... I will definitely be asking you for advice / info if any jobs come up there next year.... x
ReplyDeleteYes, please do! And even if you don't end up seeking a job there, please come and visit!
