The bamboo is big here too. The guys are only
there to give scale to the poles.
Then there is the requisite photo op before the
gorgeous orchids.
I want a job like this!
Peg was rather excited about the size of the Poinsettia
trees. Irama, a native of Indonesia, was only Ho-hum.
Apparently they grow that way in the tropics.
Catching a song taeuw (or however you spell it) out
to the gardens at the Royal Palace which is some distance
up Doi Suthep mountain just beyond the favored local
temple by the same name, proved to make the most
sense if we just hired the driver for the afternoon. That
way, he could wait for us, take us to the gardens AND the temple
and we'd have a ride home. The driver thought it
was a good idea too. 500 baht for him and we split
$US15+four ways. Very OK!
