SunThursday - Edition 26 - Fishing Village Sunset.

A couple of weeks or ago, I visited the fishing town of Bangsaray a small town down south from Bangkok city, this town has survived as a fishing town for many years and generations and today it's still been run by these generations of fathers and kids. Walking through the town I found the people very friendly and the old fisherman along the piers were all so chatty, talking to me in Thai language, I wasn't understanding a word they were saying but giving them a friendly smile back and a wave certainly made me welcoming to them.

Walking along these piers and there were four of them, walked each one, I could not believe how many colorful fishing boats were here just in this harbor, I was stunned did not know at which boat to feast my eyes on next, I had never been up, so close to so many old school fishing boats like this, each one was unique and beautiful in it's own way.

They are really dedicated fisherman to there families and the town from early morning to very late nights always out on the piers either getting there boats ready to go out for the nights catch or doing repairs and maintenance on there boats.

The weekend I was out there with some of my friends was the most gorgeous day was a never ending blue sky so we knew it was going to be a great sunset and we just had to stay around to see it, while we were waiting for the sunset we parked ourselves on one of the piers in one of the many seafood restaurants having a great feed on the freshers seafood you could ever imagine, people come from miles away to come and eat seafood in this town and not expensive compared to western prices. So we ended up with a amazing sunset over the Bangsaray Harbor and a full belly of the best seafood I have ever tasted.
