I was going through my memory stick and just realised I still have not uploaded the pictures from our trip to Thailand this year. On route back from Oz to Stockholm, we did a short stopover in Thailand for S's friend's wedding there. I first met her when S was working in Mumbai and she's the loveliest girl ever. Was quite glad we managed to squeeze a week of Thailand so we could meet up with her.
I think I last saw her back in 2004 perhaps? Been a while =)
Her wedding was in Rayong, Thailand, which were like 2 - 3 hours bus trip from Bangkok to the middle of nowhere. Great place as it's crawling with beach resorts.. but nothing else. Her wedding lasted for 2 nights which I thought was long, but considerably really short for Indian standard. Best part was the accommodation and all the food were already paid for, which was a delightful surprise...
The long exhausting journey (another 2 - 3 hours wait at the airport waiting for the catered bus to leave) was well worth it when we were greeted with the magnificient sunset view from our room!

| Gorgeous sunset from our balcony of the hotel. I believe we were the first lot of guests here as it's just newly been open |
 |
| How beautiful is this... |
 |
| Zooooming in! |
 |
| Can't get enough! |
 |
| Finally the sun is gone... |
The little corner in our room with welcoming Indian goodies to taste
 |
| Our bathroom with separate toilet and shower. It's open plan but we could close the glass door connecting to the bedroom |

I heard there were a couple of girls doing henna tattoo.. so, I went off to check it out and hoping to get at least one hand done! =)
 |
| Someone had her feet and hand all done in henna tattoo! |
 |
| Getting my hand done! Score!! First time ever! yay!! |
 |
| Looking out from our window, the lights were madly lit.. |
A word of advise.. When they tell you that a function starts at 7pm, a word of advise. They are still running on Indian time and you wouldn't see a lot of people (mostly foreigners looking lost, or being extremely punctual) until a good 4 - 5 hours later... So, dinner wouldn't even start until close to midnight.. *faints*

| Like I say.. we were a good 2 hours or so late, and the place was still deserted =P |
 |
| Which thankfully started to fill up with people |

Dinner were crazy.. It's buffet style and sooooooo much food! Some food were cooked in the spot
|
 |
| Was starving by then and with the crowd pushing in for food.. I had to drop my camera and start grabbing my plate! |
 |
| Looking into the food area |
Poor S got really sick after dinner and drinks. haha.. We went back to the room to snooze for a bit and he went back out for more drinking later.. Unfortunately, after his 'late night' drinking.. He came back and started throwing up at 3am in the morning or so. I was thinking 'serve him right for drinking'... but unfortunately it turned into a bout of food poisoning as he was mostly in bed for the duration of the wedding, which was the next 2 days! Hmph!
