Hi There !

That was one unbelievable Songkran, very intense. We want Songkran to be fun for the kids but at the same time, we don’t feel much fun inside ? Were we glad when one of The Husband’s friends asked if we like to go to beach. It was good to escape the city and look at this sea giant instead :

I imagine she’s singing opera in the middle of the ocean. The kids did have loads of fun. We get to catch up on the night time news only. On the way back , his friend took us to a restaurant called ” Kieng Nam”. It stands elevated from the river banks. In the mud below, there are walking fish ( pla teen, see picture below ) and one-clawed crabs. Those crabs have an air of narcissistic arrogance in them walking around with one huge claw the size of their own body. I wonder if they are in our “nam prick poo long” ( The name may not sound very appetizing, but it is very tasty ! It is a creamy coconut milky dipping sauce eaten with fresh veggies. May I add, there are crabs , not crap , in them.)
