Christmas in Thailand

A Rather Unique Experience!

Christmas in Thailand

Ok, so this is a bit late (I'm posting this in Aug, 2011), but maybe it will help all my friends back in Texas think "cool" thoughts while enduring temperatures of 100 to 120F (38 to 48C).  This was Christmas 2010, with rather warm temps there at the time.  That's one thing that made it a bit strange, though I guess people in Australia and New Zealand are used to having balmy Christmas weather.

The most amusing sight for me was the Santas scaling the outer wall of MBK (mall) to get to their sleigh.  Ignoring the fact that there were six Santas, the "sleigh" they were heading for was a helicopter.  Hehe.

Lights galore

So that's how Santa delivers all thos toys in one night...<br />he clones himself. :p

Maybe the <em>Thai</em> Santa rides this &quot;stretch&quot; tuk-tuk.
