Tim in Thailand : February 2017

Traveling and your secure phone...

So how do you keep your phone, tablet and computer safe whilst you are traveling?

I guess you could leave it at home?

A selfie with a crocodile?

Okay now I think that this is a little dangerous - a crocodile selfie?

I was not allowed out of the car when an elephant passed us in Khao Yai.

I kept the windows shut on Telegraph Hill in Phuket town so that the
monkeys did not get in!

NOT cheap extension cables

This is why you should not buy those cheap extension cables...

Some Thai Deserts are worth trying BUT they are not for everyone.

Makha Bucha Day

Wat Chalong was were we went to celebrate Makha Bucha Day.

"The Buddhist holiday of Sangha Day is called Makha Bucha Day in Thailand. It is observed in Thailand on the full moon of the third lunar month, which is usually the end of February or early March. In most other parts of Asia, Buddhist observe Sangha Day about a month later.
Sangha Day commemorates a day when 1,250 monks, all from different places and on their on initiative, spontaneously came to pay homage to the historical Buddha.
In Pali, Makha is the name of the third lunar month, and Bucha means "to venerate." On this day, Thai Buddhists gather at sunset in their local temples to participate in candlelight processions called Wian Tian. Ceremonies express appreciation for the order of monks founded by the Buddha and for the Three Jewels -- the Buddha, the Dharma, the Sangha."
