Some photos of where we spent our Christmas eve and then Christmas day. It's got to be said that although Thailand isn't Christian they certainly like to put on a show.

Happy New year (Chinese) Lunar year of the Pig. This is Thailand's second of three New year's.
A bit of a bummer for the Muslim population which consider the Pig "Pork is not dirty but rather regarded as impure, unhealthy and harmful for humans due to the fats, toxins and bacteria it contains and the way the pig spends its life rolling around in mud and its own excrement. The specific aspect that pork is unhealthy has even been proven by scientists, such as Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg, who argued that western populations who eat pork carry more diseases than other populations who do not eat pork."

We're going to the next big town, Hua Hin, for the night. Staying at a hotel near the shopping Mall. Most of the fire crackers have been set off yesterday, so that it should be quiet. The firecrackers are used to scare off evil spirits with their noise so that they can celebrate in peace.
So I'll be off the air until tomorrow afternoon🤕😭
I know, I know... but I'll be back 🤠
