As flights are cheap and Thailand is suffering from lack of tourists we decided quite short-noticed to shift our domicile for some 15 days to the kingdom. Working is the same for me everywhere yet some advantages being there instead of here are granted So, being there mainly for the sun and work we still were able to catch some images and share them with you…

For instance a wonderful prying mantis

Our wonderful nymphaea (don’t fret – I had to look it up myself…)

Fishing boats are colourful

and use artificial light to lure the pray (see the bulbs hanging down?)

A lazy afternoon

In town they were preparing for a festival for the river godess

At least it was loud…

These flower bouquets are set free in the river later on

Has a kind of funeral feeling…

A pair of queens? We couldn’t really figure out their role, but it must have something to do with high-heeled shoes (see later…)

Oh boy – suicide by plummeting from the plateau

3 on one bike is standard – 4 happens as well…

Another approach to recycling bottles

Where is my f… car?

Rush, baby rush…

One of the bouquets

There are more queens waiting…

Getting ready

Here they go

well, with the boot sill you need some assistance

What a cool monkey

He (she?) really enjoyed playing

Almost ready to go…

It’s really the same everywhere…

Smart kids

the pride of the village

we had to admire the shoes!

And another recycler

The right lady found a bite and wouldn’t let her companion share the meal…

Lovely curry!

Squid drying in the sun

ready to be taken home

bringing the harvest in

again – this time a different form

it’s a simple task

and then bringing them somewhere dry

normally this is full of squid

Our daily happy hour delight

This dragonfly was not shy so I could shoot quite some time…

The wingtips are just amazing

as the whole body

what elegance – how light built

The main food area at night

You sit in the salas literally in the pond

Night lotus

Just beautiful – yet the smell is quite, well…

A chopped off leaf

Palm middle structure

Play with forms

again

I couldn’t resist

Palm cell structure

The main food area again – this time at daytime

The pond with the salas where you can sit (and enjoy breakfast)

View from your scrambled egg

A beauty

The way to our abode

entries are nicely made…

“Keep off”

Another beauty

Ursula’s glow worm

At night we headed to Hua Hin to follow a recommendation. That dog was just cute on the way

View from the restaurant on the pier to the next one with a bar (later more…)

The restaurant

Entry to the kitchen… It’s a bit suspicious

The old piers are covered with restaurants

And the small but practical kitchen

Ursi with loads of sun

squido-mania

not too much to do…

chatting around

and bringing the clean dishes to the kitchen

guard?

Manual dishwasher

All you need…

View from the other pier (bar)

nice lamps and cosy atmosphere

Yellow spots in the dark

Another singular customer

Still life…

Still life II

Be illuminated

Still life III

Depressix melancholix

Save on a leaf

After the shower

These are the most beautiful for us

Spectacular

Aren’t they?

The small pollen…
