I went to Phuket for a long weekend and stayed with friends, Mike and Happy.
A few views of beaches.
In a bar with Tatty Bear and others.
Not sure how this fits in with health and safety but at least there was only 2 on board, I have seen as many as 4.
In Bangkok they are weaving in and out of 4 lanes of busy traffic. I travelled on the back of one of these scooters in Chiang Mai bit scary no crash helmets but did sit astride not side saddle.
Not very clear but a view of the Big Buddha on the hill. This is still under construction.
Close up showing the marble tiles that the Buddha is being clad with.
A model of how the site will look when completed, more tiles in the background.
It is mandatory to have a gold Buddha on site, this one is behind the big Buddha, it can be seen on the model.
Views from the hilltop site. Not a very clear day.
There is always a bell!
The 5 commandments,
1. To abstain from taking life.
2. To abstain from taking what is not given.
3. To abstain from unchastity.
4. To abstain from false speech.
5. To abstain from intoxicants causing heedlessness.
Pretty good selection really.
