There are old Chinese communities here =)
Thai & Chinese in one!
We had to visit a Chinese temple today to pray for our grandmother.
This is the first time I've seen my grandfather come with us to any place!
Usually he says in the house and sleeps or watches dramas. He reminds us of E.T
The Chinese Temple we went to was the FIRST Chinese temple built

First step, light the candles and stick them with the rest!
After we put the candles in there, we had to do light the incense and do what the guy in the photo is doing,
we had incense and then we said [in our mind] that we hope to do well in school and life...etc etc

And see the tray full of coffee and dumplings?
We all put our hand on it and pray while "giving" [the tray back]

Then you take the yellow flower things and set them in in front of the statues and everything
We had to put incense sticks everywhere
there were two pots in front of this door and 3 pots near it.
A lady helped us through the whole process, thanks goodness

Ate at a chinese-thai restaurant
I had wonton!
Since this place has Chinese people,
they also have the signs written in chinese/thai. That is how you know you are walking into an old chinese community.

First police car I've seen!
On the way home,
drove on the main avenue here, where the nice temples are, the big emerald buddha is, the symbol of thailand, the kings palace, lots of photos of the king, historical buildings, etc.

What my dad calls, the symbol of Thailand landmark "Demo-crazy"
Behind this fountain has one of the many buildings on the main road to be historical.
They aren't allowed to change anything to the front of the building

This is my dad's friend
he took us to the I.T mall afterwards to look at movies and stuff but it was expensive
Instead, he knows of a website of bootleg stuff for only 60 baht. YAY!
I want Big Bang in concert.
