23rd of July we traveled to Nong Khla Dam in the Nakhon Nayok national park. First we took a guided tour on the dam before we went rafting (see "River patrol"). After that we walked through the park area not far from the dam area where you could play with rubber rings in the water. There were also a 15 m high ropeway which you could cross the river with.

On the way to Nakhon Nayok.

Everything seems calm...

Passed the first falls without trouble, place for swimming straight ahead.

Last exit...

The locals wish us good luck...

Finally the ambush came, an aggressive bamboo attacked our raft but we repelled the attack with only one casaulty. Our private driver Mak got a headshot.

Tung Buachom Flotaing Market

Kategori: Allmänt

Had an unplanned stop at this place last week on our way back from Bangkok where we had been to settle the last details with our work permit when we got major car problems. Unfortunately the place was about closing down for the evening but we could at least feed the fishes and see their very big "walking Buddha" statue. We also got some nice evening pictures.

More Pattaya pictures

Kategori: Thailand

We have really lot of Pattaya pictures, here are some pictures from Jomtien Tower and surroundings. Jomtien Tower is the highest building in Pattaya and is approx. 250 m high. The "bird cage" shown before is one way up to the top of the building and it didn't feel so very trustworthy, but what the heck, we got up at least.

And the expressway down didn't promise much either.

Thai history

Kategori: Thai Culture

Had a day trip to Ayutthaya today, about 35 km west of Nong Khae. Visiting ruins of buddhist monasteries that were destroyed by the Burmese in the 18th century. The Burmese did not just destroy the monasteries but also decapitated almost every Buddha statue.
