Wat Khao Lam Thom...

Wat Khao Lam Thom is a temple here in Tabiab

very near to us.

This was the first time we took the time to explore this part of the area.

It has several smaller

temples and statues within the compound, it's actually quite

a large temple area.

It hosts a farmers market a couple of times a week and is at the

end of the local bus route here.

We hopped aboard the songthaew and picked up some

lovely fresh fruit and vegetables.

I walked around the temple grounds to take

some photos and enjoy the

quiet and serenity that the grounds seem to provide.

I only saw one male monk in a saffron robe

and one female monk in her white robe.

I was unable to find out how old this temple is and where all the monks were during the day.

Just walking around...

Just after dropping our laundry off,

we decided to walk down some of the side streets

we have not been to before.

I love seeing how the real Thai people live.

Some live in nice homes with clean yards,

other are filled with everyday junk that somehow accumulates.

Washing hanging out in an empty lot, fish frying on the sidewalk,

a handmade play pen,

some ornate gates, flowers sold at a street stall.

The simple pleasure of enjoying a pineapple smoothie.

Here are a few of the sights that we saw today.

The highlight was seeing the monks come to our condo to

lead prayers on New Years Day.
