Snakes, monitor lizards and monkeys would put the fear into me. When driving in the car we've seen loads of snakes, a couple of them were big buggers as well. You would have to hope you bumped into one of the locals because they would insist on getting you back to the beaten track. There's no way I'd strike out cross country unless I had a pair of thigh length thick Wellington boots on. Catherine the thought of it scares the hell out of me.

The country life of Thailand has so many stories but with some you'd have to get out into the fields to get them and with what's wriggling about in them I'm not over keen. Still there's plenty of stories about on safer land. Rick I love the reference to scarecrows on bar stools ( see John’s comment ).

I'm finishing a run of night shifts in the morning which will give me more time. If your scarecrow post makes it I'll be there to read it.

The scarecrows on the house fences baffle me a bit. I think they might be there to amuse people and to possibly ward off ghosts and evil spirits. I must find out.
