SaigonSighs34 ‘Never smile at a Crocodile – No you can’t get friendly with a Crocodile! Or can you?

Animal shows are part of the tourist tourist trade in Thailand.

Up a bit! Left a bit! Down a bit! Just there! Aaaaaaahhhh that’s better!
Now! I’ve told you many times! You must gargle everyday!
Hold that Tiger! Hold that Tiger!
Look closely and you’ll see a tiger jumping through fiery hoops!
A tiger cub suckles from a Sow.
Place your bets Please! – Pig racing- very popular in Thailand.
Run for your lives!
Lots of snakes but he wasn’t a ‘charmer’.
Elephants on tricycles! To be honest, they didn’t look very happy!
Elephants playing basketball – note. No Nike /Jordan / trainers.

As you can see, animal welfare isn’t a high priority in South East Asia. If we can’t eat it, at least we can make money out of it! Seems to be the message.

All that glitters is probably gold in Thailand.
Of course you’ll need two Lamborghini’s just in case one is out of petrol or the ash tray is full

And Relax! Possibly with the help of a few sedative drugs to stop me killing and eating the odd tourist!

Love and peace John

No you can’t fool the children of the revolution!

‘No way!’ – T Rex – 1972.

Opening day of a new Billiards Hall with traditional ‘good luck’ drum, cymbal and dragon dancing. the ‘Billiard’ tables here have no pockets or holes. apparently it’s all about ‘touching balls’

Well you can bump and grind, it’s good for your mind!

A Floating village in Ha Long Bay.

Then there were these small mountains made of ‘marble’.

And! Just when you’d settled down with the marble – you get –

A really nice ‘lift’ in a rather beautiful building.

And relax on the beautiful ‘Perfume’ river!

And Finally! Just needs some TLC and an MOT and you’re set to go!

Love and Peace – John
