Jatuchak Market, Thailand

A part of photos taken at Jatuchak Market in Bangkok has been posted under the title of "Found In Bangkok". Jatuchak or Chatuchak market is a shopping paradise for locals and foreigners. You can see and shop for variety of things such as clothing, artcrafts, jewellery, foods and plants too. The price considered as reasonable for tourists and can be bargained. The top two photos are the usual scene at Jatuchak Market. Hectic but worth it for shopping experience.



Since our mission is to look for plants, so we will show you mostly the photos of plants that can be bought at Jatuchak Market. We are uncertain about the species of this fern. The beautiful yellow spores surely highlights the ferns appearance.




Anybody dropping by this blog are invited to share any information regarding this post by leaving a comment; especially on this type of fern.

We will share the plant photos taken at Jatuchak Market in the coming posts. Hopefully you will visit our blog again.

Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary

Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary is located in Sandakan, Sabah (island of Borneo). It is a rehabilitation for rescued orang utan from logging sites, poachers and plantations since 1964; and has become one of the major tourists attraction in Sabah.

You can see few orang utan swinging on the trees. In fact, they even made a 'friendly' gesture by throwing branches to visitors. Orang utan are wild if they have less contact to human. Giving them food is not advisable in Sepilok unless you are at the right place under the supervision of their staffs.

The centre opens daily (8.00am-5.00pm) and entrance fee for adult (local) is MYR 5.00 and foreigners MYR 30.00. You will also be charge MYR 10.00 for uses of any type of cameras in the sanctuary.

It is worth it as well to take a journey in the forest of Sepilok. If you are lucky, you might see some other wild animals too. The second photo is a shot of orang utan swinging on the trees (look closely), unfortunately the image was not clear enough.







Drop by to Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary if you are visiting Sabah.
