Bangkok Week 128 December 9, 2010 A long-weekend with the Fantastic Four: Marouy, Khun Alvin, Khun Simon and Khun Theodore. View fullsize They say Father's Day weekend is the busiest travel weekend of the year. View fullsize Finally seeing the much-hyped squirrels (actually chipmunks!) in person. View fullsize There were originally 3 guys, but one had escaped from the cage a few days earlier. View fullsize Mr. Sad Face keeps an eye on his chippy friends to pass the time. View fullsize Two brothers, manning the store. View fullsize Someone insists he needs a morning cup'o'Joe, too. View fullsize Chipmunk #3 (the jailbreaker) hasn't strayed far from the cage. Look up! View fullsize A giant bunch of bananas, recently harvested from one of the banana trees behind the house. Lots of squirrel food there! View fullsize If you can't drink from it, you may as well chew it up. View fullsize Handing over some souvenirs we brought from Bangkok. View fullsize Uh oh! One guy's gone missing under the winter blanket! View fullsize The orange Mexican orange bowl is still getting frequent use. View fullsize The crazy dog suffers a bout of mania in front of the store. View fullsize The jackfruit are starting to form on the tree in the back. Come back in 3-4 months and they should be ready for harvesting! View fullsize More bananas growing in the back... this bunch with a big ol' banana flower. View fullsize Discovering that he really likes orange seeds. View fullsize Yup, still nibbling away at the orange seed. Better than the fruit! View fullsize The escapee stays near to keep a watchful eye on his buddies. View fullsize They were very curious about people... but not at all afraid. View fullsize Time for afternoon milk! They never had mom to teach them how to drink neatly. View fullsize Ahem, um, you have a little something on your face. View fullsize Marouy is just as interested in Steig Larsson as the rest of us. View fullsize Brother! View fullsize Two bros, just hanging out together into the night. View fullsize Uh oh! Someone found a tasty ear to nibble. View fullsize Why, it's Saturday Suki night! Long time no have. View fullsize Mr Fatso takes up the whole bench, and some. View fullsize Time to be released into the big wild world! View fullsize Marouy is already distressed when he realizes that one guy's missing from the cage. View fullsize My brother, where have you gone? And what's it like out there? View fullsize Guys! They're up to something! Guys, they're going somewhere! View fullsize Still hesitant about venturing outside. View fullsize This guy's mastered the larger universe -- just stay close to the humans, and they will always feed you. View fullsize Some noodles for lunch? View fullsize My turn to have an evening visit from our newly freed. View fullsize Not shy of people at all -- a potential flaw in the long run. View fullsize Not even afraid to be held. View fullsize Yeah, probably not a good sign that they're also comfortable walking straight across the gaze of a giant dog. View fullsize Just checking out what's for sale tonight. View fullsize He won't be biting any ears tonight! View fullsize Um, dad, I found one. It's on your shoulders. View fullsize My, what big feet you have. View fullsize Home-made iced tea and coffee, Thai-style. (Well, duh.) View fullsize Enjoying the freedom of the outside world, and the comfort of staying close to home.
