THIS HAS BEEN REVISED- PLEASE READ

these are some of our more beachy/ holiday shots.
not all in the same place but we get excited when ever we see the sea which, since southern thailand, has been a lot.
have only managed to camp on the beach once but we continue to look although so far this has only brought expensive hotels. we say expensive but by this we mean double the price of thailand and a quater of the price of the uk.
what the middle photograph tries to display- aside from daddy and lewis' trim fingures- is that the sea starts a long distance from the beach and even at high tide (of which there is one per day) some beaches require a miles trek through the sea to get to a swimming depth.






View from river in the middle on bankok when we were on our very cheap public transport boat



Thai princess, elder sister of Thai king, dies at 84.
we saw lots of memorials and some people looking sad and wearing black.
we did not understand at first.




a couple of 'the streets of thailand' photographs so that you can get a 'flavour' of the normal everyday sights around the town.
the last two are of all the animals that we have seen for purchase on the street side. the last photographs contains squirrels found in a bankok market that sold
we realise that you require more to get an accurate picture but i am sure that our photographic team (headed by dwight wood) would be more than happy to provide a 'streets of thailand' album for you all to enjoy.






these are supposed to be in the Vehicles album but got way laid because they are that good and i can't move them at this time. it will require further work.
the second photograph i a mother and her two boys rowing to school. this was in the older, original part of the floating market and was just about the only thing worth seeing. the rest was some giant form of tourist trap but round the back were still people living and an old man swimming accross the canal with his belongings in a floating plastic bucket.





first guest house in thailand- very cheap and brand new. lovely open walled breakfast area downstairs and owned by an enlish teacher. lucky to find it as the day was completely dark by the time we started looking for accomodation.



tessie loves a photograph of lewis. this is for her. lewis in bankok at the children's discovery museum. we had a big row with the lady at the ticket counter over the price so only i had the pleasure of going with him. was actually an entertaining and educational experice.





we hope you will love these photographs as much as we do- which is a lot.
finally got a photograph of a typical thai cow.
the boy scouts are infiltrating all four corners of the earth- this is for the fanatics (in cluding bill everett).
the coolest man on the planet? yes. still figuring out how this bicycles works- any ideas? this photograph is also for fanatics.
