Red Bull, Holy Pullas and Crickets

We went to find the Shrine of Goddess Tubtim the goddess of fertility, on the way we found another Red Bull F1 car. This one is pure Red Bull as you can see.



Next off to the shrine. It was quite pleasant and peaceful apart from the occasional river taxi. It is in a simple garden beside a hotel carpark and a waterway. The main theme is phalluses, many made of carved wood, some cement, some decorated.


On the way home we stopped by the local markets. We had once before seen a lady selling insects but not since. She was there again tonight and I had been keen to try them so got 2 different types of cricket and some caterpillar mealworm type things. The caterpillars and one of the cricket types had been deep fried until crisp and spiced with favoured salt, the other crickets seemed lightly fried as they were a little juicy. All were delicious, probably nutritious as well.


One more day in Thailand. I can't wait to see what culinary delights India brings.
