The first picture is a Christmas tree. Yep, it has been commercialized in even a predominantly non-Christian country. The big mall where the tree sits in front, is a very large place. Lot's of shoes but no boots, Jen. The square in front of this mall is kind of like Times Square when it comes to New Years Rockin' Eve.

The next picture is at a restaurant which has Thai and Vietnam food. The selection on the table is all Vietnamese. It was good. The couple at the table is Rungrat [the finance person for Agel Thailand] and her husband, who spent the evening with me.

The last picture is another shrine much the same as described before.
