Every time we go Thailand, we see cats. They are in everywhere. Shops, markets, alleys, and even inside the resorts. 

 

My wife usually spots cats quicker than I do, and this time with no exception. Just a few minutes after we boarded the resort shuttle, outside the window she saw a big fat ginger cat sitting at the porch, closely watching all the vehicles passing by. After the first one, different cats in various sizes and colors kept coming into our eyes. 

 

On the next day we rent a car. With a map in hand we started the engine and ventured out for good foods. On the way we stopped by a small market at the corner for fruits. Under the table we discovered two lovely kittens. Afraid no strangers they greeted us with their watery round eyes: Sawaddee Khrab

泰國可謂貓氣指數高企，五步一小喵，十步一大貓．到過的每一個城鎮，都曾遇過貓． 

今次亦不例外，下機後往酒店途中，老婆已率先叫出: "左邊有貓". 又贏了一記． 

一隻黃色大肥貓，守在士多門外，好不神氣．之後沿途不斷見到各色各樣的貓，多半在睡覺，其他開眼的，懶洋洋不願動，悠然自得, 模樣極為討好． 

翌日放晴，就租了一部小車, 拿著地圖, 探險找尋美食去． 

途經一個細小街市，買過龍眼後，赫然在台底下發現兩隻小喵，眼睛水汪汪, 惹人憐愛. 蹲下去逗牠們玩, 附近的小販都笑了. 

接近黃昏時，在另一個市集又碰上幾隻小喵，全部都很有禮貌地跟我們打招呼: "沙話de給"
