Buddha image at Phra Phut Kiti Sirichai Pagoda overlooking Baan Krud beach

Baan Krud or Baaan Grood or even Baan Krut has all these spellings and possibly more. It is a very small town with a pleasant beach in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province which lies on the Gulf coast south of Bangkok. At the north end of the beach is a rather magnificent temple perched on top of a hill. There is a photograph of the temple itself in an earlier posting on this blog.

 These two porters were taking time out from their labouring duties to share a joke. They both work at Khlong Toei market in Bangkok which is Bangkok's biggest wet market selling meat, fish , seafood, fruit, vegetables as well as some rather exotic foods such as frogs and insects.

Vendor on Hua Hin Beach, Thailand

 Vendors walk up and down Hua Hin beach all day selling their wares. The purple umbrellas in the background all belong to a line of restaurants directly on the beach. They all serve fish and seafood as well as other Thai dishes and there is something rather special about eating lunch, sat in a deckchair with the sea lapping around your ankles.
