Angelo has a Italian restaurant which now, due to lack of customers from Covid, focuses on pizza and PANZEROTTO. He is the kind of fellow you want to know if you want to learn how to be a good chef and how to make people happy with food. He makes something called PANZEROTTO, the only place on the island it’s available. If you really enjoy the food and tell him how much you like it he will most likely give you a complementary apéritif, possibly one you have never tried before. I recommend Trattoria & Pizza kohchang in Lonely Beach.
A new waterslide for the kids just opened recently do you remember the movie “don’t eat the daisies”? If you do you are old like me. I also recommend not to eat this plant “this is how you do it!”My leaning tower of yogurt cups. I’m not quite sure why I am collecting themGetting nude at the local convenience storeMy two guard dogs doing their job, tigger and thief. Thief got her name after she kept going into my room, pulling stuff out of the garbage and spreading it around outside. I finally trained her not to go in the room but I still call her “thief”.A mini Ducati? A very nice decoration for the van from my favorite pizzeria, Babylon.

We have some more food to eat.”I see fisherman’s wharf has moved to terminal 21Honey, they shrank the bridge!This reminded me of the windy day when mom was driving our Volkswagen Square back across the Golden Gate Bridge and the wind picked it up and moved it into the lane to the left. A little bit out of control we were.Support our brave bridge builders!The walkway of pretty lightsI asked about the sign and found it really means if you buy one for 1,000 baht you get three T-shirts in total so is it 21,000 to own it or to push the button?
temples are held in reverence for their religious sanctity. This temple in Bangkok, Wat Pariwat Ratchasongkram, has a little different bent on expression, enlarging it to include modern attractive icons to highlight inclusive of Buddhism. Just look at the photos and you will understand everything. I took so many photos so I’m splitting it into several PHLOGS. It would take several hours walking around this temple area to identify every icon.
You can see that people have placed gold leaf on this imageUnder constructionMoney for construction seems to be rolling inmodern architecture in contrast

By the way, this is what I call “High Fashion”.The one on the upper right also went on my motorcycle. Is it to warn people?
in Bangkok there is a very large open market frequented mostly on Saturdays and Sundays call Chatuchak. Normally they have all the shops open and they sell virtually everything but because of Covid most of the shops are closed or have gone out of business and on the date we went only the shops selling plants on the walk-throughs were open. Here you can see a lot of the different kinds of plants you’ll find in Thailand. Some are very interesting. Don’t ask me what any of these plans are because I don’t know anything about plants except what color they are.
