Beautiful walking park. Lot of flowers. It also happens to be a water treatment facility. The nicest one I’ve ever seen.

The lizard pic was taken by Joyce. She has a way of finding wildlife that is beyond my understanding.

Lots of koi in the water. Mostly gray with a few bright orange ones. Since it was more marsh than pond, the fish were wandering around the various water plants.

There was a skywalk over some of the marshland and concrete boardwalks all throughout. It was very peaceful and serene.

And hot. Upper 80s and oppressive humidity. We got there before 7am and were sweating two minutes later.

Bangkok has interesting power lines. Below are some pics showing the quantity of wires and very confusing junctions. The coils of extra wire are probably for future adjustments. Although a resident I spoke with said they often just cut and leave when they replace wires. Nothing gets removed.

I imagine that this technique is cheaper in the short term and more expensive in the long term. The cost to track and fix problems is certainly higher. And the problems are probably more frequent and more severe.

There are times when the risk of taking the cheap way out won’t cause too much long term pain. And times when it will. I think I know which this is.

I love squirrels. The grey ones hang around our yard. We have a bird feeder and massive trees which pulls them into our yard. They clean up the maple seed helicopters nicely.

Our dog is insufficient to keep them out. She can get within a few feet of them, but they don’t consider her a threat.

They are always busy and fun to watch.

Thailand has squirrels and they look cooler than the gray squirrels we have. This guy was at the Grand Palace. All the people around didn’t seem to bother it.

There is a high-end mall near the Bangkok mall and there is a Krispy Kreme booth there. It had your standard glaxed donuts and then a bunch of varieties. So many to choose from….
