Breakfast buffet with a difference!
The view from the breakfast table

The mahout waiting for the day to start
Thank goodness for these instructions! (They still look ridiculous though)
This could be the start of a wonderful day!
By, by, by! (Go, go, go in elephant)
A real honour to be carried by this sturdy lady!
Just when I was wondering why I was the only one in the water……
That water was cold, not to mention what was floating in it!
Such a gorgeous beast (the elephant’s impressive too)
In the shadow of the elephants the water buffalo are still beautiful
Can you spot the teeny tiny hummingbird?
Baby Suki!
What an experience! Sure beats chairing a meeting!
It’s a heartwarming sight until you find out that bulge is gas!!!! I’m standing in the wrong place!!
That’s one big poo! Needless to say there was more!
Mum overseeing little one’s attempt at solid food
Yum! Sugar cane! Give me more! More I said!
Such a gentle giant, but oh so powerful
A magnificent view over the Mekong
They look kind of serious!
Not gooseberries but a kind of courgette
Eggs – serious business!
Pomelo – one of my favourites!
This tiny kitten was wandering the market – its not fluffy, just covered in fluff! I really wanted to slip it in my pocket and take it home
Not sure what these are but they look delicious
Chillies – seriously hot. A half of one is more than enough!
Some kind of squash and bamboo shoots
Catfish (and still alive!)
Bundles of lemon grass – only 10p!
Both of these are dried shrimp – the colour difference is just that, a colour difference
Poor little things! 🙁
Steamed corn – ready to eat

The small gold leaf squares and the coins are an offering to Buddha
A colourful parasol to brighten up a dreary day
The cooking school complete with Chef Nong
Green mango and grater
The concentration required to make an egg net under pressure!!
My Som Tum and finished egg net – just waiting for the Pad Thai to fill it
Flower power
Blessings!
Interesting table top for a coffee house!
Mindful chores
Interesting rules for ‘Buddha Land’!
A beautifully coloured temple mid renovation
Such characters can be found at the market!
Need a replacement window? Easy! (I love the hole cut out for the wing mirror)
I hate this, and sadly it’s pretty common! Hope these little pups get a good home.
Women’s self defence class with Charlie and Sakan – offered for free I might add!
Some important messages to share – I think Charlie had our attention!
Longan fruit are in season – the flavour is a little like lychee
Hi Lulu lovely pictures of you with the elephants, lovely riding these gentle giants I did when in India. Much rather see them in the wild love Dad x
