Okay, they’re not really connected, but they are adjacent to each other in the small town of Ban Sai Thai, a few kilometers outside Krabi Town. Close enough that you can pop into one to make merit, so that when you go next door to race, you’ll have good luck.

Wat Sai Thai is quite small. A few nice features, but perhaps not a place you’d go out of your way to see…

…but they sure have some big trees…

…and chimney too.

Oh, and they also have mosquitoes. Millions of them. Most of which decided to join me for the day as soon as I opened the car door. There’s probably still some in there. Not to worry, they won’t starve. They sucked enough blood to last them for weeks.
