Our first day at PPJ
Bangkok chaos
Leaving Bangkok "Convenient Resort"... the actual name!
A sad occasion. The funeral of two young boys. We were privileged to witness and be part of a Buddhist funeral ceremony. The whole village community were present to support the bereaved families.
We were welcomed by the amazing mini Thai dancers!
These pictures are of the local Buddhist village park. It is a belief that this is a haven for people's spirits. Various offerings are made for the dead and departed to assist them in the afterlife.
