On the left is the monastery that we lived near in Kathu, Phuket. We could hear their chanting and smell the incense we were so close. In the morning if we were up early we'd see the monks going out into the world with a bunch of stray dogs.
This is the motorbike of a broom vendor. They have two types of brooms for sale in Thailand. One is fine, soft and feathery which is in the foreground of the picture on the right. The other has very stiff strands which might be good in gravel. Both are hand made. We'd see them all over the place.
Local Fruit
Bug Aquarium in a Restaurant
On the left is a feast of fruits and plants at one of our favorite restaurants. The fruit are rambutin and bananas.
Western restaurants tend to hide their bugs, but this Thai restaurant had a special aquarium for their 6 legged friends
Dashboard of a right hand drive car
Driving in Thailand is like Britain. They drive on the left side of the road and the steering wheel is on the right.

There's censorship in Thailand. They also took away Facebook Thai translation because the automatic interpretation made the king sound bad. Now I can't follow those conversationsWoman creating brooms
Our landing residence in ThailandScrabble in Thai
One of many favorite restaurants. The ribbons hanging from the beam are medals earned in sports competitions by the husband and wife who operate the restaurant. They offered Ovaltine smoothies as well as many traditional Thai fruit smoothies. Group of friends from Croatia, England, South Africa, Thailand
