Snake in the Trainer

 OK the video is about my Burg ride to Chiang Rai and the Golden Triangle but how often do you see someone riding pillion on a motorcycle stop in front of you and empty a snake out of her training shoe😲 Not very often but you will have to wait until the end of the video to see it (and even then you may have to look hard).

Cricket, Lightshows, Songkran and a trip to China so I have selected a few snaps and made a slideshow for you.
