We got a Flip mini HD video recorder and so took advantage to take a number of HD videos of our trip to Thailand this January so you can see and hear the sights and sounds of Chiang Mai, Thailand. We combined the clips into a number of general categories so that you can select the one you would like to see rather than one large video. Click on the title of each to see the video.
1. Adam, Cindy, Sean and Prang's Compound - Two large houses and a smaller one that we have the good fortune of staying in.
2. Grandkids at play - Adam and Cindy have four 4 year old boys and one five year old boy in addition to their baby and three older girls. A total of nine children, a real houseful. And Nana counts as an additional one on the slide.....Sean and Prang have 3 little ones as well as some older ones.
3. Feeding the 5,000 - When company comes for dinner the house is already full! They can seat about 12 around their big table, but when more people are there, the kids have their own table.
4. Feeding Anica - Everyone takes turns feeding her.
5. Anica dancing.
6. Anica Playing - Yeah, she was "almost" the star of our visit. She's at the stage where she imitates everything. It is fun to hear the little boys speaking Thai to each other.
7. House of Praise - Adam and Cindy's church taken on the day Adam played bass. Plus there is a little clip of their Australian pastor. It is an International church, with Thai, Burmese and English services. We do many of the same songs at our Mexican church (only in Spanish)
8. Miniature Golf - A real challenge with this plethora of little boys. We did not try to enforce the rules...
9. Sites Along Typical City Streets - A collection of video clips driving around Chiang Mai.
10. Old City Wall and Moat - The old city is surrounded by a wall and moat 1 Km square.
11. Mansions in World Club Muu Bahn (Development) where Adam and Cindy Live - Many judges, lawyers and wealthy Chinese.
12. Houses under construction in World Club - Similar construction as in Mexico. Note at the end the contractor and his family live on site in shacks until work is complete.
13. Gardens and Orchids in World Club Houses - Orchids on almost all the trees, beautiful.
14. One Room Shack with Garden and Tree House in World Club - Not all houses are mansions and no building code!
15. Carnival at Grace International, an English Speaking Christian School in World Club - The HS Seniors put on the carnival and some of the costumes are pretty elaborate. The theme, if you can't tell, was Disney.
16. Airport Shopping Plaza - Five floors of very modern shopping. Notice the motorbike parking lot, how do you find your bike?
17. Sunday Street Market in the Old City - Very colorful and picturesque. At 6pm precisely the Thai National Anthem is played and everyone comes to a stop. We love to eat our way through the market...
18. Ban Tawai - A village where Thai wooden furniture and goods are made and sold. Most places have posted "No Photos". So videos are limited.
19. Chiang Mai Night Safari - an interesting concept to see nocturnal animals, however, not good for photography. The highlight was we had a white tiger climb on our laps.
20. Goodbye for this year - Chiang Mai International Airport departure lounge, pretty modern.
