Thailand, Friday: Everything else

I think we made this stop to break up the drive. And also to check out some cool stuff.  It was a small attraction.  We got to tour a traditional teakwood Thai home and walk though the grounds, where our amazing guide pointed out the different plants that were growing for food.  We learned about the Thai royal family and lots of other random things. It was definitely fascinating! We saw coconut sugar being made as well.
We could climb the coconut tree, but I was not brave enough.  I do not like heights.  Wendy is not afraid of heights!

When you have a million coconut shells, what do you do with them?! Some rather clever things.

This handsome fellow was showing off, so I got a picture for Callie.

End of the tour!  We got a group shot with Pookie, the awesome tour guide.

And I ate the spiciest, yet still delicious, green curry I have ever eaten.

I wanted a night photo of the road.  But the traffic light was wrong for a good traffic picture.  Still pretty though.

And the air quality in Thailand was awful.  Awful enough that school was cancelled on the Friday we were there.  And someone had this fun app that compared it to smoking.  I definitely had a sore throat and gunky lungs from it.  It was bad.
