Udon Thani TimeNong Khai/Mekong Photos
When my wife and her two sons returned to Nong Soong last year for their visit, their family made it an occasion to take a trip to Nong Khai — I’ve already posted video in a couple of earlier posts when they all enjoyed a picnic on the Mekong River.
Of course, photos were also taken. I shall take the opportunity here to submit many of them.
They had visited some manner of public gardens and wildlife exhibit. The odd bird in the next two photos looks to me to very much resemble a pheasant.
I have NO idea what this squirrel-like creature is.
Jack loves gardening and most garden-related ornamentation, so thus the gnomes, nymphs, and such.
This next photo is one she said that she took especially for me to enjoy.
Obviously, I couldn’t expect her to come back with shots of beautiful young Thai lassies, could I?
Following are a number of photos taken while the family was on that Mekong picnic cruise.
At the table from the left we have first Jack’s sister, Lumpoon, and then her husband; Jack’s so-called “sister/cousin” is just beyond Lumpoon’s husband; Then Tho (Jack’s oldest) standing; Jack herself in the green top; Jack’s mother; and finally, Jack’s youngest son, Pote.
This is a close-up of young Pote, mugging — he’s a master at it!
Next are a whole series of views taken from the boat.
The Friendship Bridge, if I’m not mistaken.
I’ll wind this up with some photos of Jack and the boys.
First a couple of Jack.
Jack and youngest son, Pote.
Pote and his older brother, Tho.
Tho preoccupied with something.
And finally, Pote at ease.
It will soon be five years since I was in Thailand. How much longer will my exile continue?
