The amazing Buddha in a park in Donna's town
Salaya is the name of the village that Donna lives in- about 45 min west of Bangkok. A college town about the same size as Marquette. Donna has a beautiful home and she's been an amazing hostess. She has a lot of family close by who were kind enough to invite us for lunch. We stopped at the market and bought a feast- grilled fish, roasted duck, salads, fruit, sweets. We sat on the terrace overlooking the canal to eat lunch. So peaceful and beautiful. We were also lucky enough to be invited to a wedding last night. Happy bride and groom with hundreds of guests. Great music and food. We're really off the tourist track and it's been great to experience real Thai life.
Love your pics! The market pictures are great. How amazing that you were able to experience the wedding! And even more amazing is that you always look so pulled together out of your little bag of clothes!
ReplyDeleteI switched out all of my original tops for lightweight cotton tops that I bought in India. When I get sick of those I'll switch them out for tops from SE Asia. Good thing all the cheap cotton items are manufactured in India, Vietnam and Cambodia.
