That&#8217;s where the celebration for the birthday of the queen took place. I went there in the late afternoon and I have to admit:I&#8217;ve never seen such a big birthday party. There was a huge fireworks around 8:00 P.M. and maybe eight stages with different shows and music. I even was able to see the king and the queen.<\/p>\n<p>13th to 14th of August, Relaxing&#8230;<br \/>\nTwo relaxing days in Bangkok, I spent most of the time at the youth hostel to talk with Promvit and other travellers. Every time somebody arrived at the hostel, Promvit pointed at me and said &#8220;He is a volunteer, ask him if you have any questions!&#8221; A nice couple from Ireland (Joanne and Shane) had a lot of advises concerning Australia, so I re-planed my Australia-Tour. On the 14th of August I visited the Vinamek Mansion, the biggest golden teak house in the world, really impressive and worth to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>15th of August, Million Miles Away<br \/>\nThe final day, they played Offspring&#8217;s &#8220;Million Miles Away&#8221; during take off in Bangkok, which was, for my opinion, a very good sign. Singapore was a five hour stop on the way to Darwin but the time passed by pretty fast since the airport has a lot to offer (city tour, cinema, food-court etc.).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>12th of August, Birthday of Queen Sikirit The whole town was very quiet and nearly empty on that day, except the Phramane Ground next to the Grand Place.
