This is not so wordless as I need to ask you to click the image to view a larger scale. I took this photo when I was in Thailand last year. Overlooking Bangkok and I was standing on the 83rd floor of Baiyoke Sky Hotel, the highest hotel in Thailand. The floor was revolving and it was quite difficult to get a good shot. All I did with this photo was resize it. As you can see it’s blurred. But can you also see something else?
Wordless Wednesday…check it out and all participants here
This photo was taken a few weeks ago when my family had a weekend vacation. We were on the way to the beach, walking, when this beautiful horse cart or in this case, dog cart passed us by. I thought those two dogs at the back were so well behaved, utterly cute! My pug who was standing beside me also saw the dogs and for a moment couldn’t move but just keep on staring at them.
I sometimes wish that my pug is just as relax like these dogs. Charlie, that’s our pug, is a hyper dog. Many people who see him in the park running can not believe that he is a pug. Because pugs are known to be fat and they do not really enjoy long walks. But not my pug! He likes to be taken out 4-5 times a day and he loves to run and play tag with other dogs in the park. That’s how hyper he is. Last year when we went on vacation, we took him to our friends who promised to take care of him while we’re gone. And they did a splendid job! Charlie was loved and pampered. But they also said that he was a ‘busy’ dog. I sometimes wish he’d slow down, but on the other hand, I am glad that he is healthy, playful, so alive and sweet. Ah, maybe the next time we go on vacation we can just leave him with a professional dog daycare . Besides I heard that if you bring a dog to a daycare, he’ll enjoy it enormously because of the number of dogs he can play with.
Anyway, it’s Friday once again…I wish you all a good, relaxed and safe weekend…regards from Holland!

One afternoon during our Thailand vacation last year, I left my husband in the hotel (basking under the scorching sun 35C approx, yay!) , packed up may camera and lenses and went to the nearby market. We we’re in Hua Hin, our favorite province in the Southern part, just about 198 kilometers from Bangkok.
I’m quite familiar with the area since I worked and lived there for several years in the 90’s, but unlike my Dutch husband, it wasn’t just the warmth of the sun that I was after during that October vacation but I really wanted to visit all the places that were close to my heart. And well, in most of those places food is involved.
I am going to do a series of entry of my visits….so here’s to start it with. It was around 1pm when I went to the market and it was still early for most Thai people to get their snacks. This lady selling grilled hotdogs and seafood balls was quite early. Early bird do catches the worm, right?
When I was still living there, I must admit those squid balls were one of my favorite snacks…spicy and yummy! Inexpensive as well.
Look at how clean the area was! Well, Thai people are known for their cleanliness too.
more yummy snacks!
It was so nice of her to let me take her photos…
hmm….now I want some hotdogs!!
join me on my next market trip, aye? ;)
