Be quiet in the temple

I’m in Bangkok with my friends, friends who I have know for 25 years.  Ou lodged with me for a year in 2000 when she was doing her MA at SOAS. Match was my project office in 1997 when I travelled around Northern Thailand for Help Age International and she was also at Warwick in 2005 completing her masters and Bea popped over to London in 2005 on a year sabbatical and was my flat mate for 8 years. Our friendship spans a long time and it’s amazing to be all together again. We last met 11 years ago, on my last trip to Thailand. 

We are quite a formidable bunch, and have just reverted back to a giggly group now on a constant drive to outdo our last group selfie I front of whatever we choose. This resulted in our hysterical squeeze of laughter of finding the best backdrop of a giant wooden temple door with a carved very pale soldier standing guard by the temple. Too much noise for the temple as we were quickly instructed to be quiet, but it was worth it for the great group photo:
