Then of course, dad visited and we went on some nice trips and did sightseeing in general. It made me appreciate the variety of Bangkok again, and I fell in love again - with Bangkok.
So here are the highlights.
The most legandary songteaw ride EVER. 4 hours one way in between puking Burmese ladies, Karen kids hugging my legs to fall asleep, a Karen lady with the longest neck and one of the most amazing faces I have seen and of course the frogs that I suppose, were going to be eaten. It was worth it.

My study-trip to the island:) It was nice!!! As you can see.
Loy Krathong, my first time. A romantic occasion "deromantisised" by the rush of it all.....it was not what I expected...
Then, one of the most memorable moments of the year. The cremation of Princess Galyani Vadhana, the sister of the King. Hundreds of thousands of people in black. The mood however was not that somber...
Excursion to Kanchanaburi and the bridge over the river Kwai. I remember the very pushy touts that wanted to sell me books in dutch and the excellent museum just across the cemetary.
Ayuthaya. A surprisingly fun place. Busy city with the best-looking people outside of Bangkok I have seen in Thailand so far. Old temples inmidst of a city (or the other way around) are interesting indeed.

On my birthday. The man in front is the man who flirted with me so heavily - INSIDE the temple. Remember?
So, from now on lets look ahead, happy new year again. And be good boys!!! (do I have any female readers)
