Teak Tock




This morning Bobbi and I went to the King's Teak Palace. It is a massive 72 room structure made entirely of teak wood. It has no nails in it. It survived a direct hit by an incindeary bomb in WWII. Just before we left for this trip I spotted yet another barge full of teak heading up river. I seem to see these things about every hour. I hope they are not completely deforesting the Teak Wood Forests. Let's hope time isn't running out.



It is interesting to see amidst all the river traffic these little boats with fishermen doing their thing. They seem to be taking out shell fish. I am not sure I would want to eat them because this river has a lot of 'stuff' in it.
