December and January
Sadly, when we picked up our pictures, they included one exposed strip of dead black film that was supposed to be our Christmas Eve arrival in Bangkok. Luckily we took enough pictures to make up for that setback.

 In the jungle. |
 Relaxing in Karen - a small (and I mean SMALL) mountain village near Chiang Mai. We stayed in a wooden hut on stilts overlooking a rice paddy. The village's only connection to the world is one dirt road running through the middle and small, obscure paths into the jungle. |
