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.

Chong Heng Cafe (Ramkhamhaeng 76) Visit 22 (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? Have you tried this App - SnakeSnap!


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


There are also other options for street coffee on the same Ramkhamhaeng 76

 

1) Tanyapat & Anyawee

2) Chong Heng ชงเฮง ชาโบราณ

3) Street Coffee (Ramkhamhaeng 76)

4) Rabika 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.

Voodoo Cafe (BKK) Visit ?


Voodoo Cafe in Bangkok is somewhere we came across because we were nearby and intrigued by the name.



Then there was
their Facebook page.



So we made a visit.




It was not full of 'voodoo things' as we expected.



It was more of an American Sport's Cafe.


But the ice-cream was great


and so was the coffee.
