Macaques have lived in Lop Buri since the late sev Macaques have lived in Lop Buri since the late seventeenth century, They first moved into the old Khmer Phra Karn Shrine probably after their original habitat was cleared for crops. People believed them to be disciples of the Hindu god Kala and so left them in peace.
.
Over the years their numbers have swelled and there are now three distinct groups. A second group colonised the temple ruins of Phra Prang Sam Yot and a third, more dystopian group occupies an old disused market place. Squabbles have always been common but they reached new heights early in the pandemic when tourists dried up and along with them the supply of cola, candies and potato chips.
.
The locals have always put out spare fruit and vegetables for them so it is unlikely any of them went hungry. Indeed the diet has probably improved their health no end.

Although only a short bus ride from the urban caco Although only a short bus ride from the urban cacophony of Yuen Long embarking on the Nam Sang Wai ferry is a step back in time. It operates on a small tributary of the Shan Pui River in the wetlands just south of the Chinese border. In years gone by there were probably similar services in other parts of the wetlands. This is the only one that survives.
.
The only capitulation to modern technology is an electric bell push on this side of the river which alerts the ferryman that a passenger is waiting if he happens to be taking a nap on the other.

Last night a plague of flying ants also took to the sky but despite having the mosquito screens already shut a few still managed to teleport themselves in. Most got no further than the balcony where they spent the night milling around, climbing on the plants and wondering what to do next.
.
It was the bulbuls that decided their fate. These birds are common around here but they usually keep their distance. With a banquet of flying ants on the menu though, several came over for breakfast.

Part of the outer walls of Mandalay Palace, Myanma Part of the outer walls of Mandalay Palace, Myanmar. The teak wood palace was originally built between 1857-59. It was the residence of King Mindon and King Thibaw, Mandalay's last two Kings. The Royal family and palace were captured during the third Anglo-Burmese war in 1885. The British turned the compound into Fort Dufferin, named after the then viceroy of India.
.
During World War 2 the Japanese used it as a supply depot until it was burned to the ground by allied bombing. The palace was rebuilt in 1989 but while the designs remained faithful to the original, the buildings are concrete with corrugated steel roofing.
.
The walls form a perfect square, two kilometres along each side and boasting forty-eight bastions with gold tipped spires. The moat is sixty-four metres wide and 4.5 metres deep.

Being on the edge of a forest, with the South Lant Being on the edge of a forest, with the South Lantau wetlands just a gentle gust of wind away, I get quite a lot of interesting critters visiting the balcony. These two dragonflies make a colourful pair although their visits were actually a couple of weeks apart. Nevertheless I don't often see them stationary so I wondered if they had just recently metamorphosed and were still drying their wings.
.
I did try to identify them but in both cases there were too many that look too similar. Feel free to comment if you have the answer.

A southern or double-wattled cassowary. The third A southern or double-wattled cassowary. The third largest bird in the world is native southern New Guinea, north eastern Australia, and the Aru Islands. It lives mainly in the low forested areas.
.
This particular bird was at the Wildlife Friends Foundation in Thailand. The foundation looks after a wide range of animals that have been rescued from abusive situations and the illegal pet trade. Gibbons, macaques and slow loris which have been drugged and used as selfie props for tourists.
.
Otters, which may seem cute and cuddly when they are young but grow up with very sharp teeth and claws. They also like to play with their poop, not something you want on your sofa. They have numerous elephants that have been rescued from being forced to give rides to tourists or from logging. There are bears, orang utans and a mountain lion. If an animal can be released back into the wild they are but most oft he time they can't because they are too dependent on humans for food.
.
Cassowaries grow to between 1.5 and 1.8 metres tall and pack a very powerful kick. The claw on their third toe is about 12 centimetres long and can easily kill a person. Despite this someone actually thought a cassowary would make a good pet.
