This
seems to be downtown. The gate is a sign of a strong Chinese presence.
I
like this photo because it pretty well expresses the pleasant feeling
that came with the sun shower.
A
statue garden. In many Thai temples statues and figurines seem to be placed
willy-nilly as they arrive, with little thought of the decor of the whole.
In
any Thai temple in Thailand you can see public display of memorials to
deceased loved ones.
This
lady, poor as a church mouse, gave me the treat on the right.
Grotesque
kitsch of a new Chinese temple. There are Chinese temples that seem made
for guests to pray for wealth . . .
.
. . and there are others that appear to exist mainly for memorialization
of ancestors.
A
typical shop cum residence building. Chances are, the owner of the shop
lives upstairs.
A
close-up of the shop.
I
can often get into a conversation when I take a public bus, but in the
southern cities speakers of English are very few and far between, and
I don't know Thai, so I rode all by myself.
