Summing it all up.

A day for Kran to pay her respect to her Buddha.

	The nice breakfast hall of J.B. Hotel in Hat Yai. Martin has a good laugh at one of the short stops on the way to the temples
	Up the hill where the temples were. Kran and Martin at the end of the Tuc-Tuc that we hired for 800 baths or some US 25,-.
	The end station of the aerial cableway being built for tourists. Martin walking up the last stretch to the top.
	The 3-headed elephant guarding the temple. He has a big dick to boot.
	Nice Buddha altar. Kran is paying her respect to her Buddha.
	The city of Hat Yai seen by the 3-headed elephants overlooking the town. The cracker leftovers after they are fired off. They really make a racket.
	The cracker box details. The temple engrave the chairs and other temple items with the name of the donators.
	Kran and Martin in front of the elephants sharing a coconut. One of the builders busy with the end station for the aerial cableway.
	Another detail of the cableway. Birds for sale and release. It symbolizes the free spirit or soul of the humans and bring good luck to release a bird during the prayer. It makes you closer to Buddha.
	Kran at the end of the pathway leading from one of the crummy toilets on the premises. This one will be replaced later when the cableway is finished. An overview of Hat Yai.
	Next temple up. Kran in front of the golden Buddha. Kran is kneeling in front of one of the many altars placed around in the area.
	A tree planted 2547 years after Buddha's birth or 2003 years after Christ' birth. A big distant lake that the cab driver didn't want to take us to.
	An overview over this temple. Kran and the Buddha (70 MB). One of the local temple workers taking a nap in the shade.
	Entrance to a temple building. Details inside the temple.
	The temple with the city in the background. A white, lady Buddha on display in the center of the temple ground.
	Dragons protecting the temple. Scaring the evil spirits with crackers (42 MB). Another guardian of the temple.
	Kran is praying in front of another altar on this 3rd temple we visited for the day. Up to another Chinese Buddha through a dragon's mouth.
	Kran and Martin sitting on the tongue. The Chinese Buddha and his followers.
	A fat bellied, smiling Buddha in the area. Martin has a belly too. Details of the Chinese Buddha.
	Walking back out of the mouth. Lex, the cab driver and Kran having a chat. Lex chatted a lot.
	Fancy office door. The side view of the offices of Maytai Deepsky Observatory for Science and Astronomy.
	The main dome seen from the outside. Inside the dome, the displays were very educational and in beautiful colors.
	But only for Thais. No English texting. Inside the dome.
	The entrance to the observatory. Outside, we could see the bum of the golden Buddha.
	One of the many canals of Hat Yai. Booz dealer Weela.
	Weela is an active shottist packing a Sig Saur 9mm handgun. A satisfied Kran.
	Kran with a mischievous smile for Martin. A satisfied woman is a happy one. Kran just did her nails in green to match her top.
	Fish for the evening. A perfect starter, spring onions and lettuce with soya sauce.
	Martin taking his own picture in the mirror. At night, before bed time, time for a drink. Irish coffee for Martin and Old Fashion for Kran. She claims it tastes like medicine.
	The sexy legs of Thai waitresses are a treat for the eye.
