Below are photos of rural Thai life  that is not often seen by the foreign eye.

The photos include Puy's home, her family and friends, Thai eating habits, rural Thai farming methods and countryside, rural Thai fishing methods and Thai merit making which Thai's perform at special occasions.

There are also some photos of Bangkok landmarks as well as a few of our holiday.

Puy and I hope you enjoy

May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

Puy's home in Khampang Phet in north west Thailand. You see those big vats. Well they collect rain water in them for domestic use. Not like here where we have all the rain we want but apparently can't store it and want to drain our beloved Shannon.

Her late father (RIP) having old hairs removed. Very typical Thai tradition.

Puy's late father with one of his famous musical instruments, which he made himself and wrote his own music. Incredible eerie sound.

Puy's nephews in boy scout uniforms. The dog is a character but was a bit bold that day. When Puy's father played his stuff, that dog came in from wherever and howled his head off and did so after he died. I was there for that howl.

Mealtime in the Khamphumee household. Thai's traditionally sit on the floor and share dishes of food. However I sit on a chair as I get cramp when sitting like they do

Rice planting. Notice they're all women and all wear hats. Women do so much work in Thailand.

At the fish pond. They drain the pond and jump in and scoop out the fish. Fill the pond again and restock it.
