Happy Loy Krathong!

Ian celebrated the annual Loy Krathong festival (Nov 12th) in style, wearing his traditional Thai outfit while lighting his 'Krathong'. We went to our local park, which has a large lake where we helped Ian launch his Krathong (which means raft in Thai and traditionally made from banana tree leaves). The launch was done under the night of the full moon, where across Thailand many people will release small rafts like this on rivers, ponds and lakes to celebrate. It is a wonderful event, very colourful and romantic too! Ian was helped by Nanny Margaret, and got a hug from his girlfriend Nina too!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Look at our little man ..... as "Little Rambo"! Ian got dressed up for the annual Halloween event, wearing his costume to school as well as back at home as the other trick 'n treaters came knocking on our door. Ian was generous with helpings of candy to all the kids who came to visit. And Mom and Dad got into costume too, as they headed off to a party, sporting 60's attire and a hint of Austin Powers!
