A very wet Friday morning in Phuket!

Vegetarian Festival procession in Phuket Town, Sunday 25th October 2009.

Nothing special about any of my pics, just images of people and places. This was from a new cam and Im not used to it.

Excuses, excuses, I know.

The following two pictures capture an incredible aspect of Thai culture anywhere you go....impromptu prayer. It can happen anytime from early in the morning, afternoon, or REALLY early in the morning, say, 3 or 4am when the monks are collecting alms and blessing the Katoeys on their way home.....

Mai Khao, my favorite beach or one of them. Fading light, late afternoon.

1.) beach

2.) food shack

3.) chakkachan, et al

4.) My friends who own the restaurant

Since there doesn't seem to be a thread for the Phuket Fun Fly, I will put them here.

I was interested in participating in the Canon photography contest only to learn that you can only submit photo's from Canon camera's bought in Thailand. Nothing says "locals only" better than that.

(At the moment I am not able to view my photos. Not sure if it is a Thaivisa problem or Photobucket problem. I will upload a few to the Thaivisa servers, but they may be big, so my apologies. I use Photobucket so people don't have to wait forever for a photo to load as they do using Thaivisa's current ridiculous attachment system.)

.frisky little guy, I catch and relocate one snake a month on average, most are green snakes but there have been a few nasty ones.

This was taken in Phuket, so it is valid.

We have many orchids scattered around our garden, and this is one of my favourites. Unfortunately, it also seems to attract any orchid eating bug that is lingering close by, so typically we only get the full benefit of it's beauty for a couple of days before it's eaten. This taken this morning (note the 3 or 4 other flower buds about to open also). Click to enlarge:

Great Thread and idea... hey, Gallery link is not working,

Another pot plant in our garden, which doesn't flower very often but when it does, has a great range of colours, principally red, salmon, and pink with some yellow and blue highlights also. These taken this morning. Click to enlarge.

Tonight on Kata Beach.

Whilst looking for some different photos, I came across these of Kaset Market, near Robinsons, in Phuket Town that I'd taken some time ago. Only open early in the morning, by 9 a.m. it's all finished. Good variety of produce, and some interesting characters there also. Click to enlarge:

Good shot of the villas with berths at Royal Phuket Marina. I notice though that they are advertising condos for sub 5 million (baht that is).
