New Year's Day

Thank-you peas for being so welcoming - it is nice to be back.

We had a quiet New Year's Eve in Bangkok and on 1st January 2009 we took a walk. 
This was feast for our senses - flowers, bells, incense and hundreds of people.

On the first day of each year everyone comes to temples for prayers for the new year.
Every street corner had sights like the photos below.
