Happy New Year! Ou-Yang's in Thailand (Part 2)

Nothing beats spending the holidays with family. Last year, my parents came to visit and I showed them around Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son. This year, my brother joined the trip and we toured around central Thailand to BKK, Kanchanaburi, and Ayutthaya.
