JetsetBkk Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I spent the later part of this afternoon, watching "hoi" pickers... but except for mother became a sand castle building competition... " Hoi" I can't imagine what else it means other than clams, or snails... have I missed something? .... perhaps don't answer that.... about an hours digging... Poor old mum left to collect on her own... after about 5.30 many pickers on the beach... My ex-g/f used to buy lots of "shell" - still alive, I think - and just chuck them in a pot of boiling water to kill and cook. I'm pretty sure they were mostly dark grey in colour - not like the whitish ones in your top picture. Then the next hour or so was spent prising them open - although most were already open - and eating the innards with some foul smelling paste . I never liked them and don't recall ever eating them, but they sure were a favourite with my ex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 Those shellfish/ clams seem to vary in colour, depending on area, sometimes I have seen black ones too.... Agree about the paste They give same reaction to Marmite... While they dug clams and made sandcastles, I found more interesting things to take pics of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assurancetourix Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 interesting colour water.. Between Sawang Daen Din and Phangkhon on road 22 Right bundycat ; it's the real color and you know why ? Because it's full of fluorine ; it's not an overflowing swimming pool like we have in Europe . I went there once and don't want to come again; I think it's dangerous with piss, faeces ... Not the problems of thai people; what they want is a place where they can put their children in water and the adults are seatind in the shadow and eat somtam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assurancetourix Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Sure tangaroa; be careful with Google Maps; I know nearly all red roads within a radius of 10 km around my village; some of them doesn't really exist; it's a foot/bridle/MTBike path but not something where u can go with a car or a pickup, even a 4x4 one . And sometimes it's more serious; the road exists really but stops in a ricefield ; and it's like that on the two sides .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggy1969 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 What a fantastic shot ^ We were up there early this year,the place was chock a block with people and neigh on impossible to get a clean shot! Would of killed for a FF camera with a wide angled lens like yours! I did manage to get the full building in frame,but almost fell down those step whilst focusing. You got lucky with the rain also eh? that wet surface gave you the perfect opportunity for the reflection.We were the very last to leave,did manage to get a bit of a sunset shot,but were hoping to get some shots of the buildings illuminated.Next time maybe?

Be aware that the temple generally closes at 5.00pm, and they only switch on the lights on feast-days! I wasn't aware, unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
