Thai style swimming

After being here a few days during the hottest time of year I had been looking forward to going for a swim. So once it gets to the hottest part of the day 1-3 pm we quite often head off to the local river. When I say swim I actually mean just a dip in the river as so far we haven't been to an area in the river deep enough for me to be able to actually swim. Thai style swimming usually means going to an area in the shade or after the sun has gone down and jump in with all your clothes on because most of them prefer lighter coloured skin and don't want to stay in the sun long. After we cool off in the river quite often the girls will go about picking some local plants to use in the dinner that evening. Also there's a couple of mango tree's close by that we always stop off at and get a few on our way home.
