The Writing on the Wall

Random Shots

Modern city = shiny glass buildings. Strange shell pictures frames at the market. Tasteful. Advanced outboard engines.

Music fan…

Obviously not bothered by the banging house music playing..

View across the street

Note the conveniently located bar/Internet cafe/restaurant across the road. This being Thailand every day is of course Christmas hence the fairy lights.

Mosquito War

This is really what you need to deal with the mosquitoes. A rechargeable electric insect killer. Simply switch on, wave it around and any insects that stray across its path are zapped with a satisfying crack. Genius. Total price for this modern marvel? 100 baht (1.35 GBP) A veritable bargain and you can also practice your tennis swing at the same time. Here’s the bald one illustrating its use.

Smiling Buddha

Devotees of the Buddha place a piece of gold leaf on various artifacts around the temple as an offering. Over time everything becomes coated with gold. Nice.

End of chapter one.

Well, this draws to an end chapter one of Rickster’s Asia tour. I hope you’ve enjoyed it and will return for chapter two – Thailand. In the meantime here’s a message from our sponsors “Smirnoff“ Drink Smirnoff “It’s great!”

Salt flats

You’ve got to love those mosquitoes

Ouch!

Swimming pool instructions
