These delightful ladies looked after us during our stay at Casa Papaya. I cannot recommend the place highly enough.
Apologies for the lack of comments since my return. It has been manically busy and I haven't found the time yet. Hopefully normal service to be resumed soon
While we were in Chiang Rai we decided to go to a Thai Cooking School for something different and fun to do. While we were there we made Tom Yum Soup, Papaya Salad, Green Curry and Mango and Sticky Rice

La Nueva Normalidad
La mascarilla como parte de nuestra forma de vestir
Mascarilla de Mascarilleando (Irene de la Cuesta)
The mask as part of our way of our look
The monkeys in Lopburi are a mixed blessing. They bring in a lot of tourists but plague the town with their rather unpleasant habits including stealing items from people such as sunglasses, mobile phones and water bottles. It pays to pay attention!
I have to confess that I have become fascinated by the selfie culture that exists in Thailand. In almost all cases I offer to take the picture but am generally greeted with an embarrassed smile and a polite no thank you
There are more than 30 murals like this along a street near the Historic Park in Sukhothai. Some depict historical scenes, others religious while some just show scenes of everyday life
Cuestión de perspectiva
El confinamiento nos ha afectado a todos. De una manera o de otra ha tenido influencia en nuestra rutina y nuestra vida. ¿Volverá la antigua normalidad?
Lockdown had affected all of us. It has had an influence on our life and routine. Will the old normal return?

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Yesterday, the 9th August, I made my first street shots in Glasgow since the 2nd March having spent 5 months hibernating away from the Coronavirus at home. I only spent an hour in the city but that hour was actually quite terrifying. I understand, anecdotally, that the people of Scotland are adhering to Covid-secure ways of living more-so than England but I saw so many people without a care of the virus in their minds. Little social distancing, few people wearing masks and those that were, only a few were wearing them properly. People were no longer keeping their distance from others as I had observed in my home town during early lockdown walks. Now, it was bumping and jostling on the busy streets as ever before.
I also note that 5 months of hibernation equates to greatly reduced muscle strength in the legs and I even pulled a muscle in my back from my 5kg camera bag. I'm now nursing some back pain though it is the site of an old industrial injury from many years ago so there must have been a redundant weakness there waiting to be found.
This is one of 9 shots I took in the hour. My confidence not quite at the level it once was but my confidence can be rebuilt easily when it comes to shooting street.
Stay safe out there everyone - not sure how often I will shoot new street images at the moment, and definitely not until my back stops hurting, but I hope you enjoy the few new shots that I took.
Arguably the strangest thing we saw on our road trip were these bubbling cauldrons of boiling hot volcanic water in a car park of & Eleven. There was no protection; no signage, a pretty strong odour and even the odd local using the water to boil their eggs

I am always fascinated by the poses that Asian people have in their photos. They always look like they are having the best fun and somehow make the pictures not look at all cheesy
The golden shower tree is one of the most popular decorative trees in Thailand due to its massive hanging flower clusters that grow 30-50cm long and up to 7cm wide. At peak bloom you can barely see any green leaves. From a distances it resembles the silver trumpet tree. It was chosen the national flower of Thailand in 2001 in part because the yellow can represent both Buddhism and King Rama IX. It is also the provincial flower of Khon Kaen and Nakhon Si Thammarat.
Not the best quality of picture as we were all moving at the time my wife took this one. Scenes like this are commonplace throughout Thailand and neighbouring countries
They are already trying to convince us that a blackout is completely normal. After they shut down nuclear power plants and coal-fired power plants.

Lin Hui is the star of the show at Chiang Mai zoo and to go and see her is an extra entrance fee that costs more than the original zoo ticket! She obliged by eating her lunch right in front of us.
Lin Hui is the only panda in Thailand and is on long term loan from China. She gave birth to a daughter some years ago and as soon as she was old enough she was repatriated to China, where she still lives in captivity
