This should be a short thread.

I made the mistake of going on 1 January when every fuckin' family in Thailand seemed to be there trying to secure good luck for the new year. I've got some pics somewhere that I'll try and put up.

The place itself was, for me, a little bit disappointing but I think that was because I had been to Sukhothai and Siem Reap which are spectacular as far as ancient ruins go.

On the way back we stopped off at a place called Bang Pa In which is the old residences of Rama 4 (or maybe Rama 5). It was totally devoid of visitors and made the day worthwhile.
