Nothing much to say. Still hanging in southern Thailand, waiting to return to Australia for xmas. Surprisingly, for those not in the know, the Thais celebrate xmas. In fact they celebrate everything. Thai national holiday, Buddhist holidays, Valentine's Day, xmas, easter. I have not noticed Jewish holidays yet, but wait a few years.
A few pics from a nearby shopping mall. People are the same the world over. Thai malls are packed with teenagers hanging out, older folk shopping for cool gear, and parents shopping for their families. The weekend, doubly crowded.
The Surat Thani "Central Plaza" mall. The classy mall in Thailand.

Entrancealready decked out with xmas stuff

Not sure why, but it is candy that is the xmas theme this year.

Thai Santa

Pretty girls selling cars a universal combination

The big tree, no sign of Santa yet. But everything else is there.
A xmas sign and welcome to 2013

Another universalpeople photographing each other. Parents - children, girls each other, etc.

A pretty Starbucks girl with either devil ears, antlers, or some type of xmas thing.
Sometimes the Thais do not always get Santa correctly.

Looking down from the top (3rd) floor. Shopping, shopping, shoppingwhat would we do without it?

Cinema on the very top floor (4). A mix of western and Thai movies.

Capitalism

Movies ! The Hobbit.

Thanks, man. Time heals most wounds. It also creates more kidney stones. So we'll see.
