^So what's the plan for the restored canal?
Where else do you think dumped stolen bicycles, sacks of unwanted kittens, and used condoms are supposed to go?Quote:

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.

They are setting up for some holiday light show starting tomorrow.

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.Quote:

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

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.Quote:

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.
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."

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.

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

That other pic was the Mekong at Miss fish's moms farm. Her brothers and sisters farm the land. As for myself you could could say I'm just a squatter. Haha.
Here is a pic of a drone shot from a place we visited the other day.https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2018/12/1179.jpg

It could be worse. The woodline in the creek out back.
The powerline leads to a water pump for irrigation. That's the way it's done here.

Looking north from the deck. I may bang up a thread on the farm if you're interested.
fish.
^ Yes please. Looks lovely. :yup:
From the looks of things you have an ideal place for evening gin & tonics along the Mekhong, and a perfect view over the estate for your morning coffee. :)

Chicken fighting out in the village. Fcuk knows how they decide the winner. The spurs on the cockerel are taped down and are inspected by the owners before battle commences. Betting is taking place but no monies is on view. All bets are written down in a book carried by the individual punters.
I took these pictures cuz the guy organising the fights is closing down soon due to the police. The village coppers take 2,000 Baht off of him every Friday. The Buriram police heard of the fighting so they too decided they wanted 2,000 Baht as well. The organiser, my cleaners husband, charges 200 Baht per cock per fight. He can't make ends meet so he's shutting shop on it.
