Winkle pickers

Before I receive a deluge* of complaints, I know that the subject of this post does not relate to winkles, but if you are of a certain age you will understand.

Anyway, reader Ray, he of much photography knowledge and far too many cameras, has come to live in Pattaya to escape the photographic wasteland that is Hua Hin. I have dragged him round my usual spots; but he has already found some new places where lenses can be pointed. One of these is a beach north of Naklua where hordes descend at low tide to extract winkles (not really winkles, see above).

We went this morning, but the tide was high when we arrived and so it was an hour or so before people started heading onto the beach, by which time the light was crap. We will return again when there is an early morning low tide. Meantime, a few shots that show the potential of the location.

Better to say Winkles rather than “catching crabs in Pattaya” !!

Photos of winkles, please. And yes, you’d have to be a wrinkly to remember winkle pickers (UK variety, not these Thai ones). Funny though, I saw a chap wearing a pair of winkle pickers on the MRT last week.
