Questions concerning Thranduil

[the phantom]

About Thranduil, a few people have said that he was described as having golden hair in the Hobbit. But I can't find it!

If my memory is correct, the Elven King's (Thranduil) hair is described when Bilbo and the dwarves leave the path (to pursue the lights of the elves). When they are close enough to see the feasting elves, I believe Thranduil is described as having golden hair and maybe a crown of Autumn leaves or something similar.

Also, I believe Bombur saw Thranduil in his dreams (when he was unconscious after falling into the enchanted stream).
