Just got back from our annual trip back to the wife's homeland. Thought I would post some pictures I took of our travels as I always enjoy seeing everyone's pictures. This first group was all around Ban Tak I have posted pictures from here a few times already but hope these are some different ones.
This is down at the river that runs through Ban Tak the ping river I believe. Its so nice and clean looking.
This is a cousin of the wife's family who was loving the water.
This old timer was shuffling down to the river for a bath.
I went out on a bike in the mornings. This was at sunrise during that cold spell a few weeks ago.
It was quite misty before the sun came up.
These are just some houses from the village. I would love to have one of these old style houses on the river. May need one to get away from all the traffic and filth of Pattaya. Although our house is on the dark side in Pattaya the traffic this year was insane trying to get into town. The number of busses driving around there was just crazy.
This place would be my dream house.
Caught this old guy napping.
I don't think these kids see to many westerners around. So they all stopped there game to have a look. I did see two other western guys this year. With my brother in law and me they probably think where taking over the place.
No traffic problems here.
This guy was walking down the river talking to himself. Must have been a nutter. He was very happy to have found something in the water not sure what.
The water level was very low this year in the afternoon. Then would come up in the evening when they let water out of the big dam up there.
I haven't seen many boats around here. I would definitely get some kind of small boat to explore the river if we got a place up here. There is plenty of water for it in the morning.
That's it for now. I think that small town is growing on me. I used to hate going up there. Now I find myself liking it more may be a different story after a few month though.
