Thailand done and dusted

I've finally found time to publish a series of posts about our time in Thailand. While our trip was primarily for business, we managed to fit in a few Bangkok tourist attractions. We also had a week of meetings cancelled, leaving us with time to fill on the Andaman coast.

Our visit coincided with Songkran, the national Thai New Year holiday. As a result, we also experienced one of Thailand's most famous festivals. Garry commented later that the experience made him keen to try more of the world's iconic celebrations such as La Tomatina, a Spanish festival celebrated in Buñol, near Valencia, where revellers throw tomatoes at each other.

Here's a series of links that take you through the highlights of our trip.

• Exploring Damnoen Saduak Floating Market 
  
  
• A walking tour of Bangkok's iconic Royal Island
  
  
• Songkran festivities in Bangkok

You can also relive our first time in Thailand by following this link. This earlier visit included a weekend on the River Kwai and a sombre visit to Hellfire Pass, where thousands suffered and died as prisoners of war. It seems apt to revisit these posts as we celebrated ANZAC Day yesterday.
