Tim in Thailand : October 2022

A monk in the river

Whilst we were at U Inchantree a monk came in a boat to collect offerings in the morning.

It was a quite moving experience.

Thank you.

In the garden

A peaceful morning with the birds in the garden.

Sanam Chandra Palace (Nakhon Pathom)

Sanam Chandra Palace (Thai: พระราชวังสนามจันทร์; RTGS: Sanam Chan; "Moon Plaza") is a palace complex built by Vajiravudh in Nakhon Pathom Province, Thailand, 56 km west of Bangkok. The palace complex is about a kilometer away from the Phra Pathommachedi. The complex consists of five buildings and a Ganesh shrine. (Text from Wikipedia)

I am amazed at all the special places that I find whilst I am here in Bangkok.

There are clearly a lot of places here that I did not find - here's a list (from read me before you journey).

1) Sanam Chandra Palace

2) Thub Kwan Residence

3) Chaleemongkolasana Residence

4) Bhimarn Prathom Residence

5) Samakkeemukamartaya Reidence

6) Mareerajaratabulung Residence

7) Thub Kwan Residence

And it is all set in a beautiful park area.

6) Wat วัดแจ้งลำหิน (Wat Chaeng Lam Hin) (11 June 2022)

Not sure about the garden furniture...

Tracks seemed to take the walker somewhere.

Many places were closed for food.

Ramkhamhaeng 76 (Walk 27) - on a walk

As I get my iced coffee every morning from (Ramkhamhaeng 76) I have noticed that there

were recently a lot more places collecting money for the temples in the area.

Vendetta Girl by Kenneth Rosenberg

Natalia Nicolaeva is off to study in St. Petersburg, Russia, but when another student is murdered, her life goes spiraling out of control once more. She could choose to just stay out of it, but then, that's not really Natalia's nature. Instead, she opts for the opposite tactic; doing whatever she can to make the killers pay for their crimes.

Vendetta Girl follows Natalia through a labyrinth of Russian computer hackers, corrupt government officials and professional hitmen as she struggles to put together the pieces of a deadly conspiracy. Nobody is quite who they seem in this fast-paced thriller and the only person Natalia can fully trust is herself.

I gave the book 4 out of 5 and read this in

September 2022.

Indy Rest (BKK) Visit 2

Indy Rest in Bangkok is a restaurant close to where I work and where we live so we have been here more than once.

We always have their som tam.

We were surprised to find French Fries there.

But the dishes have always been worth it.

This is their Facebook Page. It is strange I could not find a website (it may only be in Thai) but here is their email - indyrest777@gmail.com.
