Chedi in Ayutthaya

These chedi's are hundreds of years old

More Tempels

The gold coloured fabrics are ritually 'offered' to Buddah

To donate money is also a ritual


People buy small amounts of goldpaper to attach to Buddah

You've got buyers...


You've got sellers...


You've got the 'victims' ...

Koh Tao

After a 3 hour ferry trip we arrived at Koh Tao, a small island
at the east coast of Thailand.


This was our transportation to our accomodation. A 'bumpy' trip
over the mountain to the other side of the island but more tranquil


One of the beautiful views during our walk over the mountain


Our cabin on the island... isn't it cute and worth the trip?!


Sunset on Koh Tao... need I say more
