Well this is the place my galfriends Nephew was BBQued yesterday, as you can see it is all just being rebuilt and should look quite nice when it is done, the grounds border an inlet from the sea where all the fisherman park their boats, one of them offered to let me go with them out to sea, but looking at the tine little boat and the rain clouds and strong winds I declined.

This next room I assume is for the praying to make babies room, had loads of wooden penis shaped things outside, although some of them appeared rather large.

On the way back to Jomtien my galfriend told me about her fathers funeral, body stuck in the Temple for 3 days and then they took him out into the jungle and built a bonfire and burnt him.

I went to one of those type funerals a few years ago, a lot of the Temples don't have the incinerators so you can't burn the bodies on Temple grounds, the one I went to they carried the confim out into the jungle and stuck it on top of a great big pile of wood, they then opened the coffin to have a look at the dead body, the kids loved it, everybody apart from me had a good look at the body then they set the pile of branches on fire, it all seemed a bit native and disrespectful to me.

Here are a couple of boats at the inlet, I believe it is a river but couldn't get a straight answer from the galfriend.

I went to Chantaburi 2 years ago and took this picture. It just seems to be the same place as DD's.

I was on the bridge and took this piccie.
