Taken from onboard the boat taking us away from this beautiful island, and on to the next stop. We were hard to miss with this bright red deck against the water.

Lychee available from a delicious Thai Grocer. I thought it was more interesting to take pictures of it than to eat it.

Street food, Thai style. These vendors were everywhere in Bangkok, and you had to at least try it. Most of the street food was actually very good, and certainly an experience!

A scooter races by the bright lights of Soi Cowboy in Bangkok at night. We made our trip though this street short, but not before I had time to get some pictures of the neon lights and scooters racing everywhere.

Taken at the Grand Palace in Bangkok, Thailand. I really loved the crazy colors on these statues. Getting a shot of them from below let me show off their intricate colored tiles against the gold temple and blue sky.

I’m going to break away from my winter theme for a bit and go back to warm and sunny Bangkok, Thailand. This is a very typical line up of taxi cabs and tuk tuks. I think they try to differentiate themselves with bright colors, very different than the typical yellow we get here in the United States. It was chaos at every intersection, with cars, tuk tuks and motorbikes all racing each other trying to get through the busy streets.

Taken near Koh Phi Phi in Thailand. This guy just wanted to tie up to our boat for awhile and hang out. It wasn’t our boat, we just happened to be in the same place at the same time. I do have to admit, it was certianly more colorful than the boat we were on.

There are many Temples, or Wats in Thailand, and many of them have lots of gold.  This one in Chiang Mai is certainly an example of the Thai’s love of gold.  It is very well lit at night to make it really shine.

The colorful ribbons on the front of longtail boats in Thailand are to protect the boat and it’s passengers and ensure a save voyage.  My trip was safe and the voyage was amazing.  This line up of boats was on the islands of Koh Phi Phi.  The water was perfectly clear and the beach itself was just pristine!

Our trusty captain after a day of diving in Thailand, taking us safely back to shore.
