Thailand is getting hot!

This post......
Was supposed to be April's but I got a bit busy and before we know it- It's May!

Even our friends who have been here long-term are commenting on the heat, I told Joan I felt like I needed arm bands to stay afloat in bed the other night!
I thought you'd like another cow! 

This group of friends is our "small groups" committee, from Church, we have been working together for a year or so, but this is the first time we all made the same meeting! We got together to hear the Pastor tell us all about the new "Vision Statement" for the Church; it is all quite exciting as the leadership team had clearly spent a good deal of time, fine tuning a statement that will enable some very strategic developments to follow.

Below are some pictures of the Song Kran Festival, we had our Emma here with us, which was great. They are taken from the safety of the car!
Further down are pictures of the biggest outdoor barbecue you've ever seen, seats over 1000 people! Also a few pictures of Emma's visit.

Umbrellas are not for the rain at Song Kran!

Special Song Kran Shirts are essential

Motorbike's are targeted like anyone else!

1 Thai Baht per fill!

Even a cup full is enough!

Fun for all the family!

Bangkok Air Staff know how to party!

You'd behave on his plane!

At 40 degrees you soon dry off

Love the hat!

Tourists and Thai's-it doesn't matter

Really? No chance!

Dressed for the job!

The water here is dredged up from the moat......

As, you can see!

Tuk-Tuks take off the roof to make sure you get full immersed!

Street food is really good here

At the waterfalls

Joan uncharacteristically restrained 

You knew it wouldn't last!

Kitchen/Laundry Staff gave Emma a dress fro Song Kran and Joan a top!

A Chinese Barbecue

Lilly's family at her 40th Birthday-look at those prawns!

Khamsi's family were at the same place, it took us ages
to see them-it does seat a thousand!

He carries trays of flaming coals around to each table

Rows of food to choose from, you pay
 a "fine" for what you take but don't eat!

We celebrated Emma's visit Thai style

These two keep fighting their reflections on our windows!
