Son of a beach

Well seeing as I'm going home for a while, thought I'd better get in some serious beach time to remind myself of why I'd better get back quick. This is a pic of moi relaxing in the sand whilst waiting for a wizened underling to bring me my chicken and rice....Ahhh.
I had thought about a swim, but the sea seemed just a bit too far away!

I got wood


What would you do with a large piece of driftwood that you found washed up on a local beach? You'd probably either burn it or turn it into some sort of Llewelyn-Bowen type of arty home sculpture....
Well the Thais in their infinite wisdom, hang coloured flags and Buddha flowers on it and turn it into some sort of shrine!
I kinda like the idea, looks pretty.

I'm not going away

Some beach sellers are really persistent. The fact that this group of tourists are all swimming in the sea doesnt put this shawl seller off, she mearly shows her wares and waits patiently until they come ashore. No they didnt buy anything.

Seven Serpants

A seven headed snake encircles a Buddha statue atop a temple in Khao Tao. She has a remarkably calm expression for one about to be devoured by such a creature! Of course I may have it all wrong and the snake may be protecting her? Yes I think that's probably it.

Yawn

A small fishing inlet near Hua Hin, where boats are moored up during the day before going out at night. I don't know why they only fish at night? Maby the fish like Thai men sleep during the day!

Buffalo Crap!

These guys are a fair way up, coating this building with buffalo crap or something similar. Just take a look at their high tech scaffolding! Damned twigs man, held together with grass! Whats all that about, its a good job your average Thai only weighs around 45 kgs fully clothed. I tiptoed past it fearful that a heavy foot fall would constitute mass murder.

Mass Suicide?

Not a Thai version of the 'jonestown suicides' but temple ladies having an afternoon siesta after some furious worshipping! White clothing is de rigeur as the chosen one demands it.
