Skatbos in Thailand

Tim, Meg, Cho, Pranee

Last week our Thai English teaching friends (Cho and Pranee) took us to a local floating market.  People are cooking in their boats on the water and you just let them know what you want to eat.

Cho and Pranee have been a BIG help adjusting to Thailand.  They help us out a lot and we were really glad to spend a Saturday evening with them.  They also made it SO easy to get around.  They translated and taught us more about Thai culture.

Samut Songkhram is the area we were in and it is known for its huge coconuts, salt fields and fireflies.  We took a boat ride so we could see the fireflies and get a view of the market from the water.

FUN FACT: Did you know that we get sea salt from fields?  They bring sea water into fields and let it evaporate.  The salt is then collected, packaged, and sold.  Now you know!

Coconuts for sale!

We tried new foods, drank coconut water right from the coconut, and learned a little more about the area we currently call home.
