Met my french friend who has two companies, one  in France and the second a few km from my village;

he makes essential oils and has also rais with rice and rubber trees .

He was giving water to his young rubber trees

What we can see in the fields in the morning, it's only water not made by a spider

 

 

 

Hello ATX

 

Is this avocado trees? The leaves looking like the leaves i got out of the pot after having buried the avocado stone in to it (after a few weeks in a glass of water until the stone cracked)

A long time  not on the forum...

because...

last week I was with many thai friends , about 140 people and their bicycles, and another farang and his bicycle:tongue: on the road to Bangkok ;

We did Sakon Nakhon - Ayuttaya ( about 700 km ) from monday 28 of november to friday 2 of december .

In Ayuttaya, the bicycles were put in Royal Thai Police trucks to come back to Sakon Nakhon;

and we went to Bangkok by coaches to begin a long, long queue for entering The Royal Palace and pay hommage to the late King Rama IX ..

 

So here are some of the 320 photos I shot during these 6 days ..

About half of them are taken when cycling ...sometimes the quality isn't very good ..Apologise in advance ..

 

Day one - November  Monday 28 - Sakon Nakhon - Kalasin - rd 213 to Somdet and 12 from Somdet to Kalasin

It was a big " caravane" as the Tour de France :cheesy: with two police sedan car in front of us and many pickups and cars, SUV , ambulance behind 146 bicycles
