Five Cabin Checks: The "Side Streets" and Beaches of Thailand

Hello again!!!

I am 'slowly but surely' sifting through the hundreds of pictures I took while in Thailand, and figuring out which ones I want to post!! Here is another collection of photos I took on the third day we were in Thailand. It was a little cloudier, as you can see, but it was still so hot and humid. Temperatures were in the 90's, but it wasn't as bad as it sounds without the scorching sun. It still called for bathing suits, coverups, and no makeup for me!! Just how I like it!!

People in Thailand LOVE their bikes!! These bikes are for rent all over, and there are always two (if not three) people riding on each one! Hahaha.. so dangerous. (Don't worry, Mama & Daddy... I didn't DARE get on one... Ha!)

These 'side streets' were steps from the hotel... coming down the opposite direction from where we were the evening we went for our authentic Thai dinner. Still lots of girls...

THIS one was too funny... "LISA Bar..."

I love how everyone carried their goods on these hanging baskets and sticks!! These were typically the "street vendors" that would stop for anyone that may have been looking for something.

You can find cheap t-shirts, dresses, and flip flops everywhere you go. I MAY or MAY NOT have picked up a couple t-shirts, bargained with the vendor, and gotten away with a 3 for $9 deal. :-)

Shrines everywhere, too!!!

Fresh flower leis... Thailand style???

Posing for a pic with Philippe on the Gulf of Thailand.

We had to stop for some sort of refreshment! "Singha Beer"... Thailand's local beer that is SO good! 1 Can: $1. What a great afternoon treat!

We people-watched for about an hour on this street... with a huge fan cooling us down from overhead the entire time!! No other way would we have been comfortable sitting in the heat!!!

An afternoon snooze...

I tried uploading this picture 3 times, and for some reason it kept coming up sideways!!! Hahaha... anyway, this is a huge crab we found on the beach. There were holes in the sand everywhere we stepped! So cool!! They sure were shy little creatures... surprised we found this one.
