Bangkok 05, 06

It's such a coincidence to be in Thailand twice exactly 1 apart. It wasnt planned and i wouldnt have realised it if i hadnt flipped to see my previous stamp.
Bangkok hasnt changed much and it feels nice to be greeted by things that remains so familiar. Interestingly, we even saw the granny who refused to give dad his change when my family bought custard apples from her last year!

Let the pictures do the talking :) Since i havent not uploaded any photos from the previous trip. I shall do a compare and contrast!

Most trips start with the flight.
In 2005, we flew with Scandinavian Air
In 2006, Swiss air

As you can see, Scandinavian Air provided us only with a sandwich and Swiss Air provided us with sth quite sumptous which filled us better! The chocolate cake was yum :)


Scandinavian Air was good in its own way :)


Wat Arun - The Temple of Dawn- Looked as awesome. This year, we visited a compound of the temple which was previously not opened to the public. I remember this place for its coconuts. We bought coconuts to quench our thirst here on both trips! I also saw the same cat outside the temple :)

|Things Unique to 2006|

1. Kendrick joined us on this trip!
2. Happy Buns - Paos with a smiley faces at chatuchak market :) Cute?
3. The celebration of the King! Yellow shirts are sold everywhere and are worn by the locals to celebrate the King's longest reign (60 years) in the world and his up coming birhtday. They love and respect their king so much that their King must be very happy! They even have a "Live strong" look-alike band that says "Long live the King". How cute!
