My Colourful Thai Life

Hello, hello how are you all today? 

All is good here in Thailand 

where life continues to be one long riot of colour!

Won't you come on a wander with me and I'll show what we've been up to? 

Last week's colourful Christmas photos were just the beginning...

Check out my Thailand travels at: littlewanderingwren.com

We might have been a riot of colour but it's been a pretty zen week.

We filled up a minibus of ladies and went off exploring.

Oh, we did have some laughs, 
luckily they all have an amazing sense of adventure!
We were recreating some of my International Blog Winner's Trip 
with the Tourism Authority of Thailand, where we went off the beaten track:
Finding Zen Bliss in Nakhon Nayok

Bamboo Tunnel: Nakhon Nayok

Last weekend we went on a road trip to Lopburi Province in Central Thailand. The area is famous for its sunflowers.

It took a bit of searching as the season is later due to drought, and

we were all the happier when we did eventually find sunflowers!

On Monday was the most beautiful of the Thai Festivals
Loy Krathong: the festival of lanterns and light.

The Krathong is a boat full of incense and candles, which you float.

 In doing so you pay respects to the water goddess 

and seek good wishes for the year ahead.

I'll float to that!

It's a mad dash to get to see the last blooms at The 'Central Anniversary Flower Extravaganza' at the Chidlom branch. This annual event is always worth a visit when all 6th levels of the Department store are adorned with fresh flowers.

It's always a popular event and ladies in Thailand are out and about in their finest clothes for a photo shoot!

And finally, I have been back for a wander at Chula Art Town. This is an area of Bangkok which has over 50 street art paintings. My blog post was published in a local magazine: Expat Life in Thailand

It is still one of my favourite city walks in Bangkok as you can wander the old traditional largely unchanged streets and yet see the new developments AND get a good coffee on the way!

This building below was obscured by builder's vans last time we were here, so it was great to see the pavement finished. It's a clever painting done by the staff and students at Chulalongkorn University, but makes my eyes do funny things looking at it.

Finally, I thought you might be interested to see us scootering around Bangkok. 

Together with @midlifeadventuring (check out her amazing photos on Instagram) we joined a product test for a new e-scooter tour: 

Bangkok Backstreets E-Scooter Tour

You will find the promotional video there. What do you think, we scoot in towards the end. I was rather chuffed with myself. The expression 'like a duck to water' comes to mind haha.

It's all go here!

Have a lovely week and see you at yours soon :)
