Bangkok Week 88 March 4, 2010 A 3-day weekend and parks galore! View fullsize A (really small) carnival came to town, sponsored by our famous friend Singha. View fullsize The fair was operated by a Dubai-based company... they required actual tokens to ride the rides! View fullsize They attract the attention of BTS riders with this huge, flashy ferris wheel. View fullsize A pink setting sky paints the backdrop for this portable log flume. View fullsize Recognize this familiar head? View fullsize Why, it's another of Mr. Wacky Worm's cousins! View fullsize Lots of picturesque photo ops to test out the new camera's nighttime capabilities. View fullsize All smiles, even though it was super-humid and past dinnertime. View fullsize Just barely tall enough to ride. View fullsize And this coaster makes 300! Time to quit? View fullsize Another shot of the downtown festivities. 15 minutes were enough to see the entire event and ride the important rides. View fullsize A hip stationary store celebrates its expansion with a giant gorilla. View fullsize Sunny sunflowers outside Paragon celebrate... summer? View fullsize Recognize this ancient castle? That's right! Back to Siam Park City -- celebrating its 30th anniversary. And boy, does it look its age! View fullsize Just tall enough to enter. View fullsize To celebrate their 30th birthday, they're installing a log flume -- it actually looks quite impressive! I hope it's done before our passes expire. View fullsize Everything's ready to go -- except this tiger head crowned in scaffolding. View fullsize Even the balloons spin too fast for my aging intestines. View fullsize What we really came for: a relaxing afternoon at the beach. View fullsize The world's largest wave pool was re-certified by Guinness for another year, just last month. View fullsize Beach reading and everything! View fullsize The shades and the waves. View fullsize Just lounging around on a warm, warm Sunday afternoon. View fullsize Finally had time to read the December year-in-review economist dad gave us! View fullsize Nothing like a relaxing beach where the oceans flow off into the horizon. View fullsize Quite an expansive pool. Not too expensive. View fullsize Back in the aging park, a dinosaur safari from another era. Still, this guy surprised me. View fullsize A choo-choo train that supposedly takes you through Africa. Instead, we saw the slums that lie on the other side of the park's barbed wire fence. View fullsize The first thing you see in Africa! View fullsize Someone's very first merry-go-round ride! View fullsize Always wanted to hang off the horse like this, breeze in hair... too bad it was stationary. View fullsize Holiday Monday lunch... this time with cheddar. Much more tasteful than mozz!
