Cha Am October 2018

Rain was predicted, but it was clear and sunny most of the time.


Avocado stop at Highway filling station in Pak Chong

So nice to see the sunrise again

Breakfast on the beach

There are two older women who run an ice delivery service on Cha Am beach. They have a big truck that goes up and down the road. They deliver huge bags of ice cubes and crushed ice to commercial customers. I'm amazed at how strong they are.

Clouds over Cha Am

On the way home we got stuck in a huge traffic jam beginning near the Kanchanapisek Bridge. It took about three hours to move six miles. A 40 foot container had fallen off a truck and blocked all three lanes of the highway.

Ayutthaya - October

A quick overnight trip to Ayutthaya. For work. Really.


 Lunch stop in Khao Yai at Dairy Home

Wat Chai Wattanaram








A recent Thai historical drama featured this wat. It has become popular for Thais to dress up in traditional attire (available for rent) in which to have their photos taken.

Wat Phra Ram

Wat Thammikarat


This wat has a currently active monastery and still serves the local community. This monk was kind enough to answer my questions

The Buddha image is probably several hundred years old as is the ubosot in which it is house.



Reclining Buddha - about 800 years old



Wat Ratburana




Corbeled Arch - The Siamese, like the Khmer, never developed the true arch and instead used a Corbeled Arch
