Ok! So...I know the Grand Palace was super inspiring and junk, but holy crap I got to hang out with monkeys this weekend! I'm pretty sure our songthaew (a taxi pick up truck thing with benches in the truck bed) hadn't even stopped before I was jumping out to buy some bananas. It was only 10 baht (like 33 cents) for a small bunch of bananas and it was totally worth it. A few of the monkeys were super stuck up and didn't accept my offering, but most of them seemed really excited about the deal. I also may have coerced one of the monkeys into walking next to me for a little ways before giving him (or her maybe?) the last banana.

Super fun to wake up this morning and see the monkeys ... certainly more interesting (to me) than yesterday's election news in this morning's paper. Did you get to hold one? I remember one attaching itself to me in Cancun. They're really clingy.

Glad to provide a nice change of pace from all the election news! Unfortunately I did not hold one. They seemed pretty content to keep their distance, and I didn't really want to push my luck. I've heard that some of the other places throughout Thailand are more likely to mess with people, but the ones we saw were all very laid back.

Love the Thai pix! The background of one monkey pic looks like prickly pear cactus. Were you ever able to drive from Schofield Barracks through Koli Koli pass to the West side of Oahu? That was my daily commute to work for a year and full of prickly pear cactus on the dry Western slope.

Glad you're enjoying the pictures! I don't consider myself much of a photographer, but I feel like I'm definitely getting some good pictures over here. Leave a Reply. |
