The Floating Market of Hua Hin

Morning has arrived, we are off to the train station

to mail my letters to Lavina.  It is already very warm

I walk the streets to see what I might capture this morning

When I look over to a shrine, there is a cat

stealing from the gods.

Then it looks at me as though it is a god in its own right.

I take photos of the many offerings that the people have displayed

  

And the cat keeps an eye on me.

  I love the many offerings and how the glisten in the sun.

Look at the mortar bikes at the train station.

Front and back.... looks amazing

  What a busy station this morning

 An artifact train..1930, I think

Such a relic, I loved its colour

 A block or two from the station, is the fire station, and a truck

The light turns green, and the sign shows how many seconds till it is red again.

Cats have a very welcomed and honoured place among 

the Tia people.  I noticed the stores sell a lot

more cat stuff...beds, toys, clothes, stroller for cats then dogs!  

I took a shot of this sign as we drove by earlier...but this time

I stopped in...walking around the block beside the train station.

Instead the ice-cream man...It's the BROOM MAN!

Look how busy the train station is...WOW

   

Hey Aunika...look what I found at the train station!

Arriving at the floating market.

$400 Bats to get in (for foreigner )

The fish around the market.  Sooo interesting.

Trying a sample of a candy...worst candy I ever had..EVER!

It was like slime and tasteless.

Corn, puff balls wrapped in cobs.

Dryed foods...peas, potatoes, carrots bananas...

it was amazing what she had

4 steps to cooking your noodles.

Look at the bum...I mean the dog of course!  Bahahaha

Kinds of apples

Pink noodle soup.  Yummy

Loved these soup pots.

Another pink soup gobbler

Looking down the market benches.

Beautiful texture and colour.

Different kind of duck

Pineapple plante

Look at the face...cute or ugly??

Beautiful faded colour

While we were walking the board walk, a play

 began unfold right there in from of us.. It was a

the old story of "love",  followed by fear, jealous, fight, win and lose 

No words were spoken, it was all done through

dance and expression.

It starts with the Queen...a curse.... her daughter the 

princess.  Falls in love with a prince...

Black princess fights her to the 

death...she dies.  The prince rejects

the evil princess.  Brings the other, white, good 

princess back to life..The End!

Here are a few captures
