Thailand Trip



THAILAND

From Bangkok to Pattaya Beach and back again. Golden Buddha, Emerald Buddha, riding an elephant, watching snake/elephant/muay thai/dancer shows, chilling on the beach. Particularly fascinated by the huge loops of wires on the streets of Bangkok.

























SINGAPORE

Pristine, perfect, upper echelon - they call it 'a fine city', i.e., fines for littering, smoking in non-smoking areas, owning a car more than 10 years old. At the same time, beautiful - especially the night view from along the Singapore River barge ride.


















MALAYSIA

Malacca, Genting Highland, Kuala Lumpur. A country that is 60% Muslim filled with beautiful mosques and beautiful burka-wearing women. Twin Towers, a cable car ride to the casino, lush/rich tropical foliage, 400 million year-old Hindu Batu Caves.
