Thread: Chitty's Thai "trip" in Pictures

Where to start, that is the question!

Had an amazing three week holiday with the family this month and i'm already counting the days and saving the satangs till we can visit again next year.

Considering it's low season and supposed to be the monsoon, we escaped the rain and crowds enjoying a regular early 30oC most days.

If one pic would sum up our experience over the last few weeks of travelling around Thailand then it would be this...



I've got a few hundred pics taken with an old Samsung phone camera coming on this thread, i've tried to capture as much variety from around Thailand.

Without waffling on, i'll let the pics do the talking, here's a few to wet your appetite.

























Enjoy CCC

Come back Punty.

Don't think I could even find the kitchen subforum in the TD Graveyard Section nowadays.

Yep, I'd like to enjoy with that.

Is there a story behind the image?

Absolutely hate aeroplane processed meals, but don't mind the complimentary bar on long haul flights.
Had a monster £12 breakfast at Frankie n Benny's before take off..



Up, up and away..



What are the odds on sitting next to an educated Thai, fluent in English who is a lecturer in Science at a major university and......organises the Hat Yai Manchester City supporters club???? And he's a muslim, here's the main man.



After about my 15th beer it was time for some Dave Brubeck quartet, Take Five....



The missus wakes me up about an hour before landing with a pen probing my right nostril informing me that this lot needs filling in.....


5 x departure and arrival cards

I was on one of my morning walkabouts and got chatting to some photography students near our hotel, The Siam Riverside in Banglamphu.

They were from Thammasat University, one had a Vespa scooter in mint condition.
Being an interest and hobby of mine we all instantly clicked.
I asked if i could have a pic for a Thai website and she happily agreed, lovely girl.
Met them all up for a drink in the evening near the Koh San Road, had loads in common with them even though i'm a fair bit older.
Music and fashion has no boundaries, still a bit of a trip, but an enjoyable one.
Kids were taking the piss because we were comparing northern soul dancing moves in the bar, one of them even let me have a go on his mint GS150. If i was twenty years younger and single the young lady in the picture....hmmm

Oh fook sitting next to O.J. Simpson ,

Looks can be deceiving, he was one of the nicest Thais I've ever met. Very knowledgeable and could even understand different English dialects. But would he have a drink? No chance, he was a devout Muslim.

A quick stop at Doha ...



Children's play park with a difference...



Thai immigration, about a one hour queue, not bad considering...



Had booked and planned to travel on to Hau Hin straight away, but decided to hit Bangkok for the night instead.

Some unusual looking buildings on the route into the city..



Can just about make out the Thai version of the Gherkin..

5555 agree with David ...Fish drink coconut made ne smile...

Just acclimatising the children to Thailand gently, before we went native oop north.
It's a safe bet for a family holiday in that area because the roads are pedestrianised.
Lots to see and do plus easy access to the river boats which take you to Wat Arun and the Grand Palace.
Loads of ex backpackers taking their kids on holiday in the area.
The Koh San Road itself is still to be avoided after 9pm as it gets a bit rowdy.


Lulu well spotted you win a gold star
