"Softly the evening came. The sun from the western horizon Like a magician extended his golden want o'er the landscape; Trinkling vapors arose; and sky and water seemed all on fire at the touch, and melted and mingled together."

I am back from amazing, wonderful, mind-blowing, fantastic, indescribable Thailand. I had such a wonderful journey, met fantastic people, had wonderful new impressions, saw so many amazing places, spent the days on the islands at the sea and soooo much enjoyed life.

I started off in Bangkok, stayed there for 4 days, then continued traveling to the south, took the catamaran to Koh Tao, continued after some days to Koh Phangan, partied on the beach on christmas, took the plane on Koh Samui up to the north to Chiang Mai, stayed there until new years eve, continued to Sukkothai, then to Cha-Am, went to Phetchaburi and had the last days on the Beach at Hua Hin before flying back from Bangkok again… these 3 weeks went by so amazingly fast…

Now I have 50 GB of images and video to process so you can guess I am rather busy… this is why this shot is a post and run, will have a look at your fantastic pictures in some days.

I am in love… with Thailand!!

    Wonderful scene with beautiful tones, Eddi... if this is just a "post and run" then I can't wait to see what the rest of your Thailand photos will be like! :-)
    I'm glad you had a wonderful trip with such lasting memories. Most people just "take a holiday" but from your description you seem to squeeze the most out of each place and each day -- very inspiring!
