Scenes from around town

Me in my Indian get-up, mask and all...

Our awesome driver

A snap of the fresh chicken shop at one of the local markets


Can you see Justin in there shopping for veggies? INA local market

There's some cool art on the buildings in the neighorhood next to ours. If you look closely, the shadows from the installation spells words on the side of the wall...

Another interesting art piece on the wall of a building nearby

Guy transporting yarn outside my office

Happy New Year 2018



Tricks of the eyes in Thailand

You might not want to use these restrooms right away!
Difficult to see but under the 'Ladies' sign is an arrow pointing right and the words "Always Right" :-)

Nowhere can you escape the cell phones!

An elephant in the elephant grass!


I love this sign - tourist gypsies...took me a few passings to realize this was the local spelling for tourist jeeps. 

Stay back for the road crossing!


Picture may not be the greatest, but that was our cabin (straight ahead) with a whole field of yellow flowers and a full moon above.


Monitor lizard


Because it's totally normal to see an elephant walking down the road. On the same road, we saw 3 elephants being led to a local roadside snack stall, where they were fed bunches of bananas.

Hard to see, but this was a gibbon (I think) that we saw on the way out of town. Our driver saw it and was just as excited as we are...not often spotted and thus supposedly good luck.
