As some of you know, Mr and I got married in Thailand, and for that reason everything Thai has always had a special place in out hearts. Our favorite restaurant is Thai, we make a lot of Thai food, there are many Thai knickknacks in our house and we have been known to listen to Thai music now and again.
This is one of my favorite souvenirs, though it's actually more of a piece of art. You'll fine this woodcarving in our living room, hanging next to the cabinet I shot back in day 4. It was one of those things I fell in love with at first sight. Mostly because it reminds me of that magical little resort where we got married. They had lots of pretty woodcarving there :)

Pretty (and fits a square shot nicely)!
ReplyDeleteOne can see your affection for Thailand -- or Siam, as it was named long ago. What does your cat look like? :)
ReplyDeleteActually, I have three of them. You've already seen one of them back in day 6, and you can find all of them if you look through my entries on W1K :)
DeleteA great art piece. I collect ornamental elephants and have a particularly soft spot for them. Lovely lighting to show it off best.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful craftsmanship to create this kind of decorations.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely lit to bring out all the color and texture in the wood. A nice souvenir!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I like sentimental pieces like that. Clint and I are slowly collecting some of those sorts of pieces.
ReplyDeleteA very nice piece, and well photographed as expected. A wonderful souvenir of your travels and wedding in Thailand.
ReplyDeleteI spent 8 hours at the new airport in Bangkok when it first opened in 2009, on the way to UK and back That is as close as I got though I do love Thai food and there are many Thai restaurants in NZ if you ever travel this far.
Oh boy would I love to! If only I could convince Mr :). He dislikes being on a plane that long.
DeleteSuch a lovely piece and you photographed it so well, showing us the depth and the grain of the wood. Love the designs with lotus flowers and swirls too. Beautiful.
