It's nice to see water in the canal again.

Where else do you think dumped stolen bicycles, sacks of unwanted kittens, and used condoms are supposed to go?

A real industrialist's question, that.

Can't it just be for the ducks?

Looks lovely.

Ha, there were some of bikes in there when it was drained and a few road cones. I should have gone in with a metal detector.
They used to run a canal boat up and down in the summer. It's in Georgetown and comes down from great falls and there is a walkway or bike path all along it.

You should have. I've seen a vid of guys "fishing" a canal with a big magnet on a rope. No good for gold or copper treasures.

Think it's main one for overseas Asian students too, oddly enough.

I just figured they would put in some sort of touristy canal boat ride setup.

btw...You'll be happy to know I edited and reworded the question.

The gardens of Rambhai Barni Rajabhat University, 6km from Chanthaburi city.

This was originally Suan Ban Kaew Palace, the private residence of her Majesty Queen Rambhai Barni, the Queen of King Prajadhipok (also known as Queen of King Rama VII).
This area was donated to Thailand’s Ministry of Education in 1972.

...when she returned 1949 from England with ashes of her husband.

Lite ballance on the phone is a bit off. Let's see if these work out.

Just a word of love for these folks. They were waiting to see this thing fly as I was as well. I had to leave the whole kit as it uploaded while I stumbled about speaking scat Lao.
Try that in Holland or France.

Fish .......keeping it real from time to time.

**fishlocker** · 04-12-2018, 07:47 PM

Ok, I'll come clean. On the third Beer Lao and still cant figure this out.
I could blame Howie, the sats or myself.

I've learned a long time ago that in the words of Robert Plant it's "Nobody's fault but mine."

My first night in Bangkok since 2010.

Blowing a few points from my horde from work travel.

The room beats the one I had in Saigon but BKK feels a tad sedate after the wild west of Ho Chi Minh.

Probably more liveable than it was 10 years ago though.

Little topless alien feet VC python charmer was a little minx indeed.

She came scampering across the road when I walked past the next night to see if she could be of any further service but I like to chill on my last night of an adventure and reflect on my new experiences so I had to prise myself out of the vice-like grip she had on my hand and repair to the nearest restaurant for my beef fried noodles and final flagon of Bia Saigon!

From an article about a new bridge. The Chinese are teaching the plastic rubbish to line up for collection it seems.
