Roadside Pics (Nakhon Pathom)



Sometimes driving through a new place you notice different things that you may not have done previously. This is what happened when we drove through Nakhon Pathom - then again I don't drive the care so it is  a little bit easier. Then my beautiful wife can tell me everything - I am the luckiest man in the world.


Nakhon Pathom 
is a small province 56 km from Bangkok. It is in the alluvial plain of central Thailand and is drained by the Tha Chin River (sometimes called the Nakhon Chai Si), a tributary of the Chao Phraya River. There are many canals that have been dug for agriculture. The capital city of Bangkok has grown until it borders Nakhon Pathom. - text from Wikipedia.


They are building a line through here to Bangkok.


Then help plant trees and forests
delete useless digital data.


Has that person lost something?


Watch carefully for the tortoises.

Somebody else by the side of the road.


The there used to be buildings here - what happened to the people who were living there?

Khao Yai Art Museum was a wonderful stop to make - and there was so much to see. 


And I imagine that there was more that we didn't see.



There was certainly a leaning towards the mixing of Art and Buddhism.




But then there was art which I could not comprehend!?




All the more reason to go maybe?

     



A walk along Ramkhamhaeng 76



I wonder whose pink bicycle this is?


Okay


Whatever this was doing it was noisy!
 


I continued down the Soi for my coffee - it was busier than usual - there were more food stalls.


And somebody was washing up.

Grab were making a delivery


Food Panda were making a delivery




They had finished whatever they were doing and things were being collected.

 
     



Zeez (BKK) delivery - 4 - now closed 2022


We order from here and it is delivered quite a lot during the Covid-19 crisis here in Thailand.


Today there was something more in the plastic bags.


Jemma had her favourite - pad see euw gai.


And I had beef massaman - very good.


It was certainly spicy from Zeez - September 2021.

I don't know why but I wanted a coffee in the afternoon.


I got half way to the end of the Soi and had to return for my empty plastic cup.



Tanyapat & Anyawee was closed.


Chong Heng Cafe was closed.


So I had to go to Rabika Coffee - but it was also closed.


So I went to the Gas Station on 
(Ramkhamhaeng 74). Where I purchased two cafe latte tins.


I returned to Tanyapat & Anyawee and asked for some ice because the Service Station had no ice.

There are also other options for street coffee on the same Ramkhamhaeng 76 - this visit was made in August 2021.
