All I knew was I had to be at the Tessaban at 5:30 am to take a journey to the sea. I knew we were next to a lake, but the sea? We drove in the dark to a launch area, where an incredible journey took place. A picture is worth a thousand words so here goes. First the boat to go on the sea !
impressive isn’t it ? I being the American got to enter first, and walking,no more like crawling to the last seat on the boat. I made it. Then we took off.
what do I see next out on the water? Alien space ships ? No fishing nets used by Thai people who were called the people of the sea.
another view from our boat.
can these boats go fast,just look !
Then sunrise in Thailand ! Yes the sun is red in Thailand.
Just imagine the sense of awe I experienced.
Next we saw water buffalo on pieces of land surrounded by water. How did they do that ? They call them Water Buffalos for a reason ! !
Then we hit the wetlands inhabited by the sea people.
if I had taken a hundred pictures, I could never capture , what my mind will never forget. And just when you think you have seen it all, a sea of water Lillie’s or in Thai, LOTUS FLOWERS !
I was speechless as we sat and as far as we could see, were these incredible plants. I hope you get a chance to take this Journey some day !
