Bangkok Week 180 December 8, 2011 A cool winter weekend in Trad! And the Christmas festivities are really picking up in Bangkok. View fullsize A very sweet Christmas is in the air around Bangkok. View fullsize Meanwhile, in Trad, cooler weather is in the air, and Namwaan is in one of her winter dresses. View fullsize Marouy, however, has only his fur coat and ample natural insulation. He hasn't quite woken up yet! View fullsize He'll always take a neck massage. View fullsize Marouy knows when there are goodies to be had! Here, helping to unwrap a tin of chocolate chip cookies. View fullsize Off to the market (and the vet) in the back of the truck. View fullsize After nearly fainting in the back, he's given an upgrade on the way home. But he looks a bit squashed... View fullsize At least they can enjoy a view in the comfort of the main cabin! View fullsize Crazy hair! View fullsize Upgraded to the front seat. And if it looks like she's being strangled, she is... she's not a very good passenger. View fullsize Mr. Big Face here though is used to traveling in cars. View fullsize Back at home, a customer has his car in Top's shop. Check out the windshield addition that comes with a speaker job. View fullsize The speaker boxes in the back of the pickup. View fullsize And the detailing on the inside of the cabin doors. View fullsize After her bath, Namwaan needs some salon work to return to normal. View fullsize Lunch -- delicious home-made fried rice at the store. View fullsize Not sure what Top's got there, but he's got their attention for sure! View fullsize Uh oh! Namwaan in a box! View fullsize Recognize this car??? You might've once known it as a blue stationwagon! View fullsize Now, there's barely a recognizable feature. The front seats have been replaced with floor cusions, and the doors have sparkly silver detailing. View fullsize The rear windows have been replaced by a barrage of 12 speakers each. View fullsize Up close, theyre pretty snazzy. They have LEDs! View fullsize And they're sparkly silver. Note the matching gas cap door. View fullsize What detailing. View fullsize The monster in action, at night, live-advertizing for the shop! View fullsize Patriotic LEDs used only. View fullsize The LEDs bring out the sparkles. View fullsize Meanwhile, back at the store, the two doggies share a dinner (even though they're each given their own). View fullsize Patiently sitting around, waiting for customers. View fullsize Marouy comes along to destroy the peace. By hurling around his 50kg self. View fullsize This little girl's a bit calmer. View fullsize But she wonders why she's always being picked up by these crazy humans. View fullsize Meanwhile, poor Marouy gets an application of purple medicine on some long-time sores and dry spots. View fullsize It's almost bed time. That means -- one last energetic romp around the house! View fullsize Wrestling on the blankets to expend some nighttime energy. View fullsize Woah! A gourmet restaurant's worth of food. View fullsize Getting ready for bed: Namwaan gets her PJs. View fullsize Umm... the bed's for sleeping IN, you know. View fullsize The next morning, she still apparently hasn't figured out how the bed works. View fullsize But she's all tucked in and comfortable. View fullsize Jealous of the pajamas, Marouy decideds to try them on for himself. Too bad he can't see his image in the mirror. View fullsize One sleeps naturally, the other's eyes are being forced shut by fashion. View fullsize "Brother! What's wrong? I'll help you get it off!" View fullsize Using the iPad to look at photos from last trip. View fullsize And trying out a racing game. View fullsize Hmm. He seems to be waiting for something. View fullsize Even more food than the night before! View fullsize Happy, blurry diners. View fullsize Exotic dessert: sticky rice in jackfruit. Kind of looks like the jackfruit are eating the rice. View fullsize Um, Marouy, what are you doing? View fullsize Futile attept at tug-of-war. Although he was at a disadvantage on the slippery tiled floor. View fullsize Another exhausted evening... after having slept all day. View fullsize Reading on the dentist chair. View fullsize Namwaan really can't get any closer to the action. If we have any poodle hairs in our chili sauce, we'll know why! View fullsize Our office's nicely decorated tree went up on Tuesday. View fullsize Our building took a slightly more... ostentatious approach.
