A Visit to Baan Tha Klang Elephant Village
On December 31st of last year, we went to visit Max and Mina’s great grandmother in Surin. This is the second year we have stopped on the way at Baan Tha Klang Elephant Village on the way. This is the affordable elephant village in Thailand for mainly Thais, as compared to the overpriced one for foreigners in Chiangmai. Prices for everything are much cheaper here, especially for high ticket items like elephant rides and elephant paintings.

Meanwhile, this is the best thing I’ve watched in ten days:

Here’s a clip of Jack Bauer’s (real life) South American counterpart, just in case you’ve forgotten what an awesome show 24 was. “Para impedir a fuga de suspeitos de transportar carga ilegal para o Brasil, policiais federais de Ribeirão Preto (314 km de São Paulo) atiraram um carro da corporação contra o avião que era usado pelo grupo. Com a ação, os agentes da PF–que filmaram o momento da abordagem– conseguiram impedir a decolagem do avião. A operação terminou com a prisão de cinco suspeitos –incluindo o piloto do avião– e apreensão de uma carga estimada em R$ 200 mil em notebooks, equipamentos de vigilância eletrônica e uma bicicleta.

B-boys in Phuket
MAx and Mina got a real kick out of this. As you can see, the guy performing started out right next to us. UPDATE: Their floor routines were super tight, too. I think this is one of them performing solo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=C3J1jkYZNwE
