More Thai Trivia

While in Thailand we were led in awesome devotions out of the book of Acts by an elder in my church who you see seated on the far left, named Ross. Next to Ross are two of the missionaries my church supports in Thailand, Mark and Buzz. Seated on the far right is my pastor, Phil. These are all amazing men of God and it was a blessing to serve along side of them!

Your Thai trivia question is:

What year is it in Thailand?

Thailand's Elephants

Pictured above is the Elephant building in Bangkok which is a 32 story office building. The owner believes he was blessed by the elephant god who provided him with the luck to earn his money. In Thailand seeing a white elephant is a sign of extremely good luck as it was one of the protectors of Buddha. Models of white elephants are often found adorning Buddhist temples. It is hard to find a souvenir in Thailand that doesn't have an elephant on it!

We were hoping to have time to go to a place where we could see, pet, and ride elephants but God in His goodness caused us to run into some elephants while heading north into central Thailand. F0r just 20 baht (less than $1.00) you could feed them a bushel of bananas.
