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.........
Bolt, Thawon & Choco in the sea
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..........
The photos, as ever, are superb. You almost feel you could stroke the hair of the dogs. I think I would be afraid if I met them on the street but with you they are probably like young children - but hopefully you are their master not the other way round. It comes of watching too many "Dog whisperer" (I think that's what it is called on Sky) This chap is just magical with dogs. Just a look or a sound and they obey. Let it always be that way.
