Very cool photo.
That's one large lizard!
I wouldn't want to get very close to it either.
Probably from watching “Ted Lasso” ???
7 months agoEverywhere you look in Chumphon there are trays of food. No town is like this in Thailand, that I know of. Any medium size town in Thailand you might find one restaurant that has pre-made trays of food out front. Maybe you won't find any in a town but for some reason nearly every restaurant in Chumphon serves this way and I love it. This tray food is the real thing, just as I remember the tastes from the 1970's. It's the real Thai food, what the Thais love.
7 months agoOh, I have others at home. I wanted one more because it appears they have improved on the spout. Can't wait to try it and compare.
7 months agoOK, the big pot is filled with water and sits on the stove and the water boils. The two things on top hold the cloth "sock" that hold the coffee. There are two holes in top of the big pot so that the coffee maker can dip boiling water from beneath and pour it over the coffee in the "sock". It steeps in those small containers for a bit and then the coffee is poured out into glasses that have a bit of sweetened condensed milk in their bottoms. This is how the old time Thai coffee is made everywhere in the country. We look for this set-up all the time. There are fewer and fewer people making the old style of coffee but we love it. It's also very cheap. But if you want real coffee Thailand has loads of that too and it's some of the best coffee I've ever had anywhere. They grow it in the north.
7 months agoYes, I've had that happen a couple of times too. Actually, now that I think about that, it might be better to just lose the bungee instead of the hassle of untangling it from the cassette and/or having it damage something.
Last year when I was denied the excellent looking waffle from that same place, my friends Ron and Jen had us over to their house for breakfast when we got back to the States. They made us a beautiful breakfast but then surprised us with waffles as well. They tasted so great!
Thank you for reading our journal.
How on earth do you know this?

When I lose a bungee cord I always, very abruptly, find it wrapped around my rear wheel cassette.
Immensely enjoying reading your adventures. Hope you find that elusive Thai waffle someday.
Nice shot!

My wild guess is farm equipment under a street lamp .. and I'm pretty sure that's not it.
