More Thailand

I want to share a few more of my photos of Phuket. Not much to say about them.

First A couple of the temple we saw. It was a large area and had several buildings including a crematorium.


And there inside the temple there were many statues. They were gold in color, but Cindy and I couldn't tell if they were gold leaf, or actually plastic. We didn't touch one to find out.


Most buildings had a small building outside, almost like a doll house. I think they are actually small temples or places to worship. Here is the one outside our hotel room. If you look closely (click on the photo), you can see a drink with a straw in it, left for the gods. At first I though, oh, someone left some trash outside our door, and then realized, 'no actually it belongs there'.

As with any tropical country, there are some interesting plants and trees. Roots from a tree by our hotel.


There was a festival starting up the day we were leaving. Here you see colored sweets being sold by the roadside.


And finally back to the temple, a vendor playing a Thai version of hackey sack with a ball that seems to have a bamboo basket woven around it. I didn't examine closely, but from a distance that is what it looked and sounded like.
