Thailand: Chonburi - Pups, monkeys & the sea




Last weekend, Thawon, the pups & I traveled south, out of Bangkok to the coastal town of Bang Saen. Located near to the city of Chonburi, on the Bight of Bangkok, the beach here, is straight & sandy, an ideal spot for the pups to discover the delights of the sea.....


From previous experience, we knew Choco would be in his element & would have a great time. and this proved to be the case. His brother Bolt, though, is not a "water baby" & does not relish the water. Here proved to be no exception..... Although enticed in the water, to follow a ball, he would quickly escape back to the sanctuary of dry land.........

A great pose by Choco




He loves to swim too....




Not like his brother, though










Bolt is not content in the water.......



And what do you do after a swim?

A contented puppy digs a hole in the cool sand.....!!




and falls sleeps............








Close by to the beach is the small forested peninsular of Khao Sam Muk, known for its resident population of Long-tailed Macaque Monkeys. The Macaques are very common in Thailand and are seen in many areas of the country..........
