China Town…

The flower market…

[Giles]

Pomegranate juice stop…

Chillis…

H, Sudo and I would die for a drive of one of these….

Sarina gives a Monk the eye…

[Giles]

Whilst we at the flower market, Matthew bought some Lotus to show us how to prepare them correctly to give as offering to Lord Buddha…

And quite a large Lord Buddha it was too...

[Giles]

On the way back to base, it started to rain, which bought out the best in our sartorial prowess….

[Giles]

Back at base, The Fish spa was tried.  Sarina's shrieks could have cracked glass….

[Giles]

Pre carnival get together…

Looks more nicely spaced out this year IMO. Last year's photos look like a more crowded space, this year looks like each vendor has more space…which is a good thing

The gong ringing looks wonderful. Such a big bell, imagine it sounded out of this world. Really great photos G. I know it's not easy to keep a camera on hand, but I'm really enjoying the insight behind the scenes.

[Giles]

Largest bell and Buddha in Bangkok….

There were 3 or 4 less brands here this year.  It made a massive difference.  We got more than 2 times the area that we had last year (partly because we all realised we needed it)  We still did not have enough space but now I'm getting greedy

Tentatively agreed with Chnanon today that an event for Iron Heart once per year is not enough, we will do an intermediate Iron Heart only party.

It will be in both Bangkok and for the first time Chiang Mai
