Here are a few more pictures (since blogger only allows me to post five at a time).
The first photo is from a special exhibition documenting the English translation of a series of important Thai folktales. The costumes depict the traditional Thai dress described within the stories. The second, third and fifth pictures are of the gardens of the home.
The forth picture is particularly interesting. It is of our Thai tour guide and an interesting garden seat. The seat made of antique Chinese porcelain and has holes in the top and side. The holes serve a purpose beyond decoration though; in the winter one would put hot charcoal in the bottom and heat would rise up through the holes. Thus, heated seating! While we have heated seats in Canada, they tend to only be within vehicles or cheap electric massage cushions.
