Ms. Neville's Class Resources

Snacks in a Thai grocery store... I always visit grocery stores while in foreign countries.

Motorbike taxis -- if I ever live in Thailand, I want to master the ladylike art of riding to work sidesaddle on the back of a motorbike that zips and zigzags through traffic, coming within centimeters of cars, busses, and ONCOMING traffic. And yes, as you see in this photo, it's perfectly legal in Thailand to ride a motorbike on the sidewalk.

The famous reclining Buddha at Wat Pho.

A rather mysterious statue.
