Over the last couple of days we have been talking a lot about Christmas and its values. With this in mind I thought I might provide you with a bit of a festive challenge to keep the grey matter functioning during the holiday period.
Therefore can I invite you to try and complete My Thai Friends Christmas Quiz.
Of course since Christmas to my mind is a time for giving I would like to offer the winner and everyone who enters my trivia quiz a prize. So if you are the winner I will donate my AdSense earnings for December to a charity of your choice. Not a huge amount, but likely to exceed $30, I will also write a glowing review of your blog on the blog search engine Technorati. For everyone else who enters the quiz I will also write a positive review of your blog on Technorati where MTF has Technorati authority of 422.
All the answers to the 20 questions can be found on MTF or My Thai Photo Blog. There are no trick questions, you just have to find the answers which are in posts made during 2009.
1. Where did I go watching butterflies and fish in May?
2. For what does His Majesty the King of Thailand hold a patent?
3. Besides having a nice beach, what is Ao Manao famous for in Thai history?
4. What is the name of the "mountain" on the Northern edge of Prachuap Khiri Khan town?
5. Give me the name of two Thai hill tribes whose villages I stayed in on a trek in Northern Thailand?
6. What is Thailand's top export product?
7. What colour are the babies of the primates I went looking for in early November?
8. What train do I appear obsessed with and often watch as it heads South from Kanchanaburi?
9. How much do I pay for a unit of electricity in Thailand?
10. What style of architecture is the City Pillar in Prachuap Khiri Khan said to resemble?
11. Give the botanical name for an orchid I have in my Thai garden.
12. What was it that Thai teenagers couldn't have on Valentines Day?
13. Where did I celebrate Loi Krathong in 2009?
14. What is the name of the Japanese/Thai boy who plucked at the heart strings this year?
15. What very valuable waste product was found on a beach in Phuket in October?
16. Why were Black Sheep Productions in the media spotlight this year?
17. What is the name of the cross border market where I buy my orchids?
18. What model of Canon camera did I buy in 2009?
19. What are the Latin names of two Thai birds I feature on my photo blog.
20. What date is Doy's birthday?
OK that's the hard bit.
Comments are of course welcome, but please send your entry to the quiz by email: "thetefldonatgmaildotcom".
Closing Date 23.59 Bangkok time (GMT +7)31st December 2009. The winner will be announced as soon as we have one after that date in a post on MTF dedicated to their blog. If there is a tie I will email interested parties a tie-breaker question.
Finally can I just wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from MTF, Doy and myself.

Well I remembered the train and the camera.....
Thanks for this as well as yesterday's post, Mike. I reckon I'll give it a go (might even make it onto your very elite blog roll) but I hope I can do better than I used to with the Christmas quizzes in the newspapers.
Train? Camera? More research needed.
Hi Mike,
Happy Christmas and a great New year and thanks for popping in to my blog once in while.
Maybe we should just write reviews of each other blogs one way or the other. Always good for a couple of Technorati points and linking bonusses!
