The Broncos logo I gave him for Christmas....lol
Ate at an English restaurant that Scrawny visits quite often to eat onion rings and French fries and people watch... Coca Cola was what everyone else got cause it was everywhere... I stuck with sprite or gingerale..... Songkran (Water) Festival is starting so people are beginning to get their water guns ready and spray people. Wasn't too crazy today, but got worse over the next few days....
Riding the Tuk Tuks....best way to get around the city....so fun!!!
Ended up going the wrong direction so had to U turn in the middle of the road...whew!!

Eating several rice and noodle dishes at the night market ....Sherrill stayed behind cause of her colostomy bag....
Bought some Durian fruit cause Scrawny wanted us to try it, but it ended up getting left out and went bad before we could try it, so we never did. Apparently, it's pretty disgusting, even for Scrawny.
Golden giant Buddha statue....
Front seat in the taxi cause we couldn't all fit....Scrawny rode with Stacy and me, Sherrill, and Autumn went in another....
Got slimed on the face by a woman with a flour water paste that a lot of the people wear for the festival...
