Made the hop back to Thailand and decided to shoot the salt pans of Laem Phak Bia. Miles of salt farms, and a huge natural waste water treatment plant that consists of 4 huge ponds and mangrove trees to the ocean.

I don't take pics of the area. but the birding is great. Actually I don't even own but two lenses and they are for taking bird pics.
