Songkarn Thai New Year<\/strong>
Wat Buddha Bucha
April 10, 2022 | Decatur, GA<\/p>\n

Here are some photos from our adventure this past Sunday.\u00a0 It was a Thai themed day, beginning with a stop at Wat Buddha Bucha to celebrate songkarn and get some blessings, to trying the new Surina Thai place in Doraville.\u00a0 The food was very good and colorful!\u00a0 The large windows and open floor plan makes for a nice picture taking spot too (yes I’m always mindful of that!).\u00a0 Finally another place close to my usual haunts.\u00a0 It was great running into folks on this day with amazing weather.<\/p>\n\n\n
