Given the surgery we've had, needing a nap can come at almost anytime.
|

Aey is showing Valerie how to make flowers from dried painted leaves and other materials. They come out beautiful. Even with me bugging Valerie
|
|
|
|
|
Detail work on the flowers

Me and Alison Christine at Suporn's Clinic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Kathy caught me resting against this tree. I told her I was just holding it up a minute but she didn't buy it.
|
|
|
|
|
An amazing place showing the spirituality of Buddhism and it's follwers in Thailand
|
|
|
|
|
Steve and Nikki who we went on a day trip with
|
|
|
|
|
Me and Kathy looking much more energetic than we feel at the moment
|
|
|
|
|
Audi always lookin good for the camera

I was just happy for the air conditioning
|
|
|
|
|
Nothing to eat or drink after midnight
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sukhumvit Rd. with Dr. Suporn's Clinic visible in the tan 3 story building on the right
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A dried fish snack. There is a large selection of fish snacks in Thailand
|
|
|
|
|
|
The bathroom. The little "NO" symbol over the sink faucet is a reminder not to drink water from the tap.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
My room at the Mercure Hotel
|
|
|
|
|
Actually not Sukhumvit Rd. but it is running into it at the end there. A typical street of shops, most of them closed right now. Perhaps a Sunday morning.
|
|
|
|
|
Another view. Note all the roof antenna here. No Comcast Cable monopoly here.
|
|
|
|
|
Sukhumvit road again. That's the clinic on the right. The tan building.
|
|
|
|
|
Alyssa's Mom hopped in for a ride with Aun, one of the very helpful people that took us on outings like this.
|
|
|
|
|
I would have preferred being out of the way of the beauty behind me
|
|
|
|
|
Enjoying the incredible gardens of Nong Nooch. This was a high vantage point
|
|
|
|
|
Then the kitty started licking my arm and the handlers made me grab it this way instead.
|
|
|
|
|
The leopard was just okay with it at first
|
|
|
|
|
I wasn't worried about getting kissed by a chimp. You should see all the antibiotics I was on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The one on the right was just being polite but the small one took a liking to me
|
|
|
|
|
I met these two after the elephant show
|
|
|
|
|
Nobody was stepped on but they sure made it look spooky
|
|
|
|
|
Giving the elephant a treat
|
|
|
|
|
Playing football. Soccer to us I guess. The balls were huge but hey, look at the kickers.
|
|
|
|
|
With all the elephants could do, I enjoyed when they brought them next to the stands the best
|
|
|
|
|
The elephants did surprisingly good paintings on paper and on Tshirts. Kathy has one of them.
|
|
|
|
|
The elephant bike looked painful for the elephant to ride
|
|
|
|
|
The elephant show at Nong Nooch Gardens. This one is preparing to throw a dart...
|

|
|
Alyssa (on the right) is a young woman who had her SRS about a week and a day after I had mine. Her Mother is beautiful in looks and in her support. Dad was also with her on the trip.
|
|
|
|
|
This still doesn't give you the scale. I'm probably over 300 yards away from this Buddha at least
|
|
|
|
|
Elephants aren't so picky. Give them bannanas
|
|
|
|
|
Then we got along very well
|
|
|
|
|
We made up and I let him select his own out of the basket
|
|
|
|
|
Monkey mountain. I gave this fellow the fruit and screeched at me and then sulked as he ate
|
|
|
|
|
You would not believe the scale of this
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, I ate it. I think it had coconut milk and banna or something and it was folded into a big leaf and cooked. Tasted like raisins and currents
