What's to Eat at a Phuket Market?

We had the wonderful privlege of going to the Phuket Weekend Night Market-it was such an amazing experience! Busy, busy, busy and so much stuff to look at and buy, at prices that at times leave you laughing and wondering what the catch is! 
Ryan gave the girls 40baht each to spend there, that's a bit less than aed5 or R10, Donna bought a little ring, a pair of earings and a lipstick, and got 10baht change!?!?  Now that's bargain shopping at it's best!

But by far the most... interesting (I can't think of a better word!) was the food that was on offer.  I really wish I had taken more pics of the food, but here's a "taste" of what was there...

Crabs, worms, grasshoppers, dimsums, sweets, quail eggs and every sort of meat-on-a-stick...and LOTS more!!!

Needless to say, us Pennies had fruit smoothies and water, then made supper back home in the safety of our Western Kitchen!

Dances with Dogs


Flynn and Mea

There are 3 dogs at Ao Yon beach, and they have added so much to our holiday.  The little puppy, Mea, is still just the cutest thing.  But there are two bigger dogs too that are just so much fun.  We named them Maxy and Flynn (Maximus and Flynn Rider from Tangled), and found out yesterday their real names are Ralphy and Po.  We're sticking with our names.


Once again, it is such a blessing to watch the girls have so much fun.  To see them out in the sun, on the beach and playing with animals, is simply heart warming.  I'm so thankful for God's creation and that there's so much of it unspoilt here.
We are loving it.
