Hooray! I’ve managed to stick to my promise of getting photos up in better time. Hope you enjoy browsing these ones. I’m finding it more and more difficult to select specific photos, so I’m sticking to one destination per post at the moment.

These photos are from Nakhon Sawan, a city three hours North of Bangkok. We spent about five days here and attended a friend’s traditional Thai wedding, which was an experience in itself. We also caught our first Song Tau (pickup truck with a covered tray and open back – acts as a large taxi) here.

This is what a lot of cabling looked like in SE Asia

I couldn’t resist – this was at a crocodile farm near Nakhon Sawan

Not sure if this guy was a pet or bait for the crocs

—

They were very well-fed and inactive

—

This guy made some very interesting noises – mostly construction sounds

—

Old and new towers

—

This gigantic Buddha was on a temple on a hill in the middle of Nakhon Sawan – V for scale

A different angle

This sculpture was inside the main temple complex

—

This is my brother, Robin

—

People were pasting gold leaf onto the Buddha sculptures – this piece was blown away by the wind

—

The main entrance to the Buddhist temple

—

One of the best pieces of Engrish I saw in SE Asia

—

We ate at the night market in Nakhon Sawan one evening – it was fresh and delicious

—

The food vendors were doing a roaring trade

Check back for more soon. The next lot should be from Pai in Northern Thailand.
