The path to exhaustion

^^^ Character building exercise Shaggy...character building....

ok......it was a tree once before...............

teak tree CR

^Impressive, but not Teak

yea you are very right, teak has big leaves..mm so what is it then ?

Not clear to see, but it could be " Hang nok yuung", sorry, only know the Thai name...

Forget my post up there, it is " Chamchuri", in Latin, Albizia saman.

Relaxing under the trees.

This is the view from my back windows.

With a little imagination, I could say I live next to Stonehenge in the UK.

Don't know name of this tree. Not in Thai, not in English, not even in my native language...

Sorry to be negative but this garden at Nong Nooch is one ugly piece of Landscaping. But that is only me no doubt.

Trees or moon?

A resting place in between the rice fields.

And another resting place.

Nong Nooch not far from Pattaya ?

I thought it was not far from Ayuttaya where there is something like that .

^ Right, taken in Nong Nooch, near Pattaya

Thank you Chonburiram

Trees and flood in E-San a few days ago

About 5 kilometers from Phimai historical park there is a place called SAI-NGARM.

I went there years and years ago with my first wife and her mother. We used to do these Wat - Crawls and we went there but they would never tell me where we were or where we were going or where we had been . (Don't tell the falung too much). Now finally i know where i have been except i remember it as being really dirty with rubbish everywhere. And a river or a lake and a real picnic/party place. A real "Once i was lost and now i am found" moment . Thank you TP1.

Xen, I had the same experience like yours, about 6 years ago.

The place was a let down.

But it has changed completely.

No more picnic allowed on the grounds.

And the restaurants have really improved.

Look what they build in the past 6 years.

I remember feeling it was a special place though -I will certainly be going back to Phi Mai sometime. It is quite a pretty town as Issan towns go .

The statue is of King Rama V.

DSC_0373.JPG

With that hat and how he holds the sword more likely King Taksin.

Where did you take the photo?

I rest my case......I can never be any wrong with you.

It's King Rama VII.

It is taken in the grounds of Sukhothai Thammathirat open university, in BKK, where my g/f is a student.

And before you call me a dirty old man.......she is a mature student, 41 years old that she likes to study and get degrees.

For what? I don't know.......but if she's happy, I'm happy too.

We went there as she had to attend a 2 day seminar, while I was spending my day in a taxi trying to go somewhere.

By the time I reached my destination it was time to come back.

The only good thing is that we stayed in the uni lodgings, a very nice airconditioned room with all the facilities, and costed me 450 Baht per night as she is a student.

Can't complaint too much......................
