Unfortunate Business Names, vol. 1

Thailand! Part two!

I love monkey's!






Even mean monkey's who steal things:



Thai massage....full release:



One of the indigenous villages in Chiang Mai, in northern Thailand. The women chew some sort of root to make their teeth black...It's not a good look!




Wrong way, little dude:


They make their money by selling things to tourists, and man, they SWARM you:


New friends. They were just as taken with us as we were with them:





The Karen tribe are political refugees from Myanmar (Burma) and have very few liberties in Thailand. They are allowed to live in the hills, but according to our tour guide, they aren't allowed to visit villages or attend schools, and are kept completely segregated from the Thai people. It's a horrible life, and even more frightening is the fact that this type of suppression is better than the treatment they received in Myanmar.







The Imperial Palace in Bangkok. It was really cool, and filled with gold! The Thai people love their Emporer, and there were pictures of him everywhere in Thailand. His official color is yellow (it has something to do with the day he was born) and his wife's is blue, which is why you see so many people wearing yellow and blue. The Palace also has the strictest dress code ever! They actually have an office where you can rent skirts and long shirts, because you are not allowed inside without everything being covered. And man, its hot in Bangkok! The line to rent clothes was super long!









And that's my trip! It was definitely an experience I will always remember, and I still think about it and laugh sometimes. Thanks again, Ashley, for inviting me!
