The Suvarnabhumi Airport is like 10 times bigger than Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). Immediately after we landed, I rushed towards the baggage claiming carousel, grabbed my bags, and literally ran to find some free wifi!
By doing so, I had just made my FIRST international check in on Foursquare!
If you ask me, my 16th birthday was pretty awesome. Why? I spent my 16th birthday in another country, Bangkok to be exact. Also on my 16th birthday, I rode an elephant.
Yes, I know that's not me on the elephant, that was the guy who DROVE the elephant. Another thing I did on my 16th birthday: I made a suit!
Does that make it a birthday suit? :P
Later in the night, my dad and I headed on to the Ma Boon Krong Shopping Centre, where incidentally, they have a Muay Thai Fight Night every week from 6pm to 9pm!
I was pretty bummed with my camera because there were NO CLOUDS in Bangkok when I was outdoors, and my camera was overexposing most of the pictures. But my 50mm lens really came through during the Muay Thai fight.
This is one of the temples at the Grand Palace, which is also the King's residence. Coincidentally, his birthday is 2 days before mine!
Before leaving Malaysia, I had a rough idea of what I wanted pictures of, and a monk was one of them. My 50mm lens didn't focus on the monk's head properly, so I converted it to B&W and added a soft focus filter.
Ohh, I almost forgot!
It feels good to be home :)
