Creatures...

Okay, so I try not to complain too much here (okay here it comes), BUT the creatures here are hard to handle.

First when we got here there were huge ants in the bathroom where we were staying

Then in our house there are the ants in my kitchen...

All of my food has to be either in an air tight container, and most of my food items are stored in the fridge.  One of the things I really don't like is being in my kitchen after dark, because that's when all the bugs are really there swarming around the lights.

Second, there are the gecko's...here is my friend who keeps me company while doing dishes (at night)

 

These little guys (and girls I'm sure) run all over the house, and I'm trying to get used them because they do eat the littler bugs...if that's some kind of consolation.  They move really fast, and that always gives me a little startle when they crawl across the walls.  (And lets not even mention the 2 that "live" in my bathroom window & watch me).

Lastly, the largest creature that I've seen is this "large" lizard who lives in our yard.  There are these very strange noises at night, and my friend said these noises are a lizard.  The same day she told me that, I SAW IT!

The middle tree, on the right side (where the branch splits into 2)...do you see it?

Then there are the mosquito's & dogs...everywhere...no leash law here people.  Mostly they leave you alone if you leave them alone.

Okay, so after all that complaining...here is the bright spot.  The butterfly's in Thailand are amazing!  Every one I see is a different color & they are so beautiful.

Thanks for listening, and if you have lived in a foreign country and dealt with these creatures please feel free to comment with advice on how to deal with them.
