Tim in Thailand : January 2023

Travelling to Samut Prakan

The road trip to anywhere in Thailand is interesting and today the road was not busy.

But we were soon joined by other cars.

There were a number of Wats adjacent to our raised road.

And there were a greater number of newer buildings!

But I like seeing them interspersed with temples.

These are photographs of our trips to Samut Prakan.

Separate posts for Samut Prakan

1) Maha Dewalai Hundu Temple.

2) Ancient City.

3) A Day Out.

4) ศาลเจ้ามูลนิธิธรรมกตัญญู.

A lizard

A lizard visited me at home whilst I was having my coffee this morning...

Chong Heng Cha Café - book - Visit 23 (closed)

Going for a coffee in the morning whilst there

is a lockdown means that I take a book

with me every time.

This book - Michael Connelly / Angel's Flight

is very good.

and makes a good compliment to the Iced Coffee.

I saw a snake on the way home -

how do I find out what type of snake this is ?

I will try this App - SnakeSnap.

But so as not to become addicted I take some home now for my beautiful and very special wife Chuen.

There are options for coffee

on Ramkhamhaeng 76.

1) Tanyapat & Anyawee

2) Street Coffee

Bod-Kod-Chong Coffee - Visit 5

The cafe was very peaceful when we went...

Why do they have a clock from Paris?

The cappuccinos were very good and quickly made

and we had it with a delicious slice of

chocolate cake!

Love the words here...

This visit was in June 2022.

Infernal Justice by N.P. Martin

In a lightless world, only darkness can drive out darkness.

My name is Ethan Drake and I’m a police detective…and I got plenty darkness to give. So does my partner, who’s a demon, and frankly, a royal pain in my ass. But occult investigators are in short supply in the PD, so what are you going to do? Anyway, we just caught a bodysnatching case that has the stench of occult workings all over it. Seems someone wants to summon something bad into this world, something that threatens the very fate of humanity. I could care less about the fate of humanity myself, but hey, when it’s your job, you gotta do something, right?

Only my job has been made harder by a demon who’s decided it wants me as a vessel, and will stop at nothing until it gets what it wants. Internal Affairs are also gunning for my badge over the murder of some guy who deserved it, and on top of that, I’m trying to solve the murders of my ex-wife and daughter. Oh, and don’t even get me started on the snarkiest Hellicorn in the known universe…

You know that thing threatening all of humanity?

I might just let it succeed…

I gave the book 3 out of 5 and read this in

August 2022.
