Thailand 2005

by johnaalex - last update: Jun 29, 2006

Ride in style!

Ayuthaya Elephants

If you do not feel like walking around the temples you can ride on a jumbo! Note that the yellow flower in the photo is "Golden Shower" a Thai national emblem.
Ayuthaya Temple

Ayuthaya Ruins

Ayuthaya is the second capital of Thailand (the first was Sukothai and Bangkok is the third). Now there are many impressive ruins to explore. The gold coloured sheets on the statues are done as a mark of respect.
A Cleaned Up Karon

Karon Beach after the tsunami

Karon avoided major damage such as that inflicted on Kho Lak, but the giant waves did clean the beach. As I walked on the sound I could hear the pristine sand squeek beneath my feet.
Just cleaning up!

Thai Tigers

At The Si Racha Tiger farm between Bangkok and Pattaya there are a large number of tigers.
Temple Of Dawn

Wat Arun

This is known as the Temple of Dawn in English and one of the main tourist sites in Bangkok that sits beside teh mighty Chao Phraya River (River Of Kings)
Door to door selling

Riverside dwelling

The Chao Phraya river is the main water way in Thailand and many people live on its banks. Merchants travel from house to house selling their wares.

Thai street traders

A feature of Thai life are the street traders who cook and serve food from stalls by the road side. This one is in Pattaya, but could easily be in any Thai town.

Peacocks at the Karon Hilton

There are a number of peacocks roaming freely in the massive grounds of the Hilton Arcadia Hotel on Karon Beach. This one was pleased to see me ;-)
