Photos of Thailand.

The Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Bangkok's most famous site.


Me and a couple of friends at the Grand Palace.


Sunrise on Ko Pha Ngan beach.


The full moon party starts while the moon is still waxing gibbous. We prefered the parties beforehand, because on full moon night all the tourists from Ko Samui arrived, and packed out the beach. Here are some dancers at dawn before full moon night.


We would usually arrive at the beach around 11pm, and party it up until about 4am. Then we'd go back to our hotel to clean up and shower, before heading back to the beach for sunrise, then breakfast. Here we are all spiffy looking as the party winds down.


Had Rin was full of trauma centers and doctors clinics. The most common injuries among tourists were wiping out on their rented scooters or stepping on broken glass. It was ridiculous how many people we saw bandaged up or on crutches.

You guys look great and the pictures are amazing! Can't imagine how such a beautiful and calm beach could have been the site of such chaos and tragedy during the tsunami. Very beautiful though. Take lots of pics in Egypt and we'll see you when we get back form Italy!

Been following your adventures...just want to say that your last pics were awesome! We have a couple of friends too that did some extensive travelling (for a year) and went to some of the exact same spots you did. I sent them your blog address- and they hope to maybe connect up with you when you return to share stories.

Look forward to seeing you guys...
Enjoy the rest of your travelling!

Hey Hania and Pete,
You gotta know that Al and I are very envious of your extensive travels, you have to do it when you can. I am especially green with envy at these latest pictures from Bangkok. Wow. I hope you guys have an awesome time in Egypt, as you know that's one of the places on earth that I would most like to visit. Please take lots of pictures as I won't be tired of looking at them as we share many pints. Also good to see Pete in pictures and alsmost smiling.
Ciao,
Brother and in-law Al
