Wow! Their trip to Mongolia sounds excellent, I've always wanted to go there.
 
I wonder where are they flying first before arriving at Ulaan Baatar since they left Bangkok quite early this morning.

They fly first to peking.
 
Their flight on the KBX takes them to Ulaanbatar via Chengdu,China.But as it happened,they already have a delay of several hours there.Besides that,the weather at Ulaanbatar is unpredictable,often causing flights to be cancelled.

Here they are on their welcome ceremony and given the honor guard. They met the Mayor of Ulan Baatar & also visited the parliament.

Thanks for the pics, all!
Love the black suit, hate the hat: wrong color and too much going on, with the 'wrinkles' (sorry don't know how to call it in English) next to her head. I love seeing her wearing big hats, but this one is not my favourite. And I have to agree with Larzen, she obviously left her brilliant hairdresser in Thailand! ;)

Love the combination with the leather jacket, though. Great skirt! :)

Love the black suit, the hat not one of my favorites. and please Maxima do something with that hair, at least a simple ponytail would look better. :(
 
Well I personally like her hair like that because she looks so carefree to me. I wasn't too much of a fan of her big hat though.

I decided to call the hat the 'mushroom' hat. Oh dear... my imagination is way too lively. :eek:
 
what a lovely photo!
http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=249449&d=1150382250

they are so cute... :)

i liked the oufit in black with the hat white, i must say. perhaps the hat was too big, but i have seen worse ones.

like it or not, i think most people would agree that it's an elegant hat.

i can't wait to see more of that silver outfit she is wearing now... mongolia must be such an interesting place to visit!
