Thailand's Beauty

I'm in the midst of a three week visit with Jeri (and sometimes Boy, when he's free).  Tomorrow we head to Bangkok for the remainder of my time here.  Boy is based in Bangkok while he's playing in a football (soccer) tournament that lasts a few months.  He's experiencing a lot more freedom than when he was just a lowly Air Force soldier. Being an athlete has advantages in every culture, it would seem!
I took these photos when we were at the river that borders Laos and Thailand.  It's about an hour and a half driver from Ubon Ratchathani, where Jeri and Boy live.  We had a marvelous long-boat ride with a cute little wrinkley Thai woman.

What fascinating and beautiful pictures! Just last night I watched a Food Network special with Jeff Corwin about eating traditional and street food in Thailand. So - are you eating grubs, ants and grasshoppers? Yum!

Boy said that we were eating eel once. But I think he was teasing me! The eating is great but it doesn't include the critters you mentioned, I'm glad to say! It's oh-so-spicy that it'd would probably kill off any worrisome bacteria!
