Playing in the rain

Hi hi,
Some pictures of rocks, rock formations, weathering, erosion, limestone caves, rivers and food etc...

Kayaking in the rain was fun, amidst cries of 'I cannot open my eyes!' when the rain got too heavy. Ha ha..
Ok, this series of pictures is named - A River Runs Through It.
The river is flanked by mangrove trees.
And pictures in the rain was made possible by a camera with underwater casing and a disposable underwater camera. So smart are the inventors of these gadgets. But so smart of us to come equipped with them too. Hee...

Some cave paintings


This is another river. The minerals in the water turned it a milky greenish. And anyone interested in a good complexion is highly encouraged to jump in, so long as one can get rid of the fear of those roots and creatures hiding in them. Hee... Hey, and I think it fun to measure river speed, obtain water samples to check for sediments in such a river. Dun be taken in by its calm look. It is the effect of poor photography. And the water is actually very clear. Every single piece of rock on the river bed can be seen.

Ok, another series of pictures. This trip was nearly called off because of the rain. We chose to wait it out while we got some Thai massage done. But the rains came again anyway. But who cares, since we are getting wet anyway?


Chicken Island - one can tell why it's thus named

And the following 2 rock pictures taken just beneath the chicken's neck:

Couldn't get any better pictures because the boat was being bumped around a lot, and us, merely rag dolls.


Here's a limestone cave by the sea:

Karst topography in the background:
Reminds me of those Chinese Paintings...


And a pict of the tsunami evacuation sign.

Food. Found this really interesting Thai chips with international flavours. Ok, I admit I was really hungry at that time, at 10am. I had no idea that the lunch duck kway tiao promised us was next on the itinerary, at 1030hrs.


Oh, I cannot resist this cutie pie. I dun think our country's is as cute.
Coca cola. This miracle drink is everywhere. And it records a fusion of cultures.


I am so in love with Thailand. The food is superb, the people so gentle and peace-loving. Even the announcements made by our own air stewardess sounded peircing. Sigh...
