\u00a0Thailand is called The Land Of A Thousand Smiles <\/em>but they could have boasted that it was The Land Of One Thousand And TWO Smiles<\/em> while we were there.<\/p>\n

\"Rawaii<\/a><\/p>\n

It had everything we love… beautiful beaches, palm trees, warm weather, unbelievably nice people and of course… seashells.<\/p>\n

\"sea<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0With a trusty map in hand, we searched high and low on every beach to find a few goodies. Between the two of us, we found the key and unlocked the Thai treasure chest containing lots of seashell loot. Go ahead…click on the next photo of a beach in Krabi to enlarge to see all the shells scattered on the beach. Cyber Shelling!<\/p>\n

\"beach<\/a><\/p>\n

Trying to identify all of these shells is a bit more time consuming and tedious than I expected. But! The fun thing that we realized when we were finding most of our shells… was that we basically knew what family each shell was a part of. “Hey Clark! I just found this beautiful SUNDIAL!”. And he’d shout back… “Look at all these COWRIES!”. So now I get to show YOU!<\/p>\n

Hey y’all! Look how beautiful these SUNDIALS are!<\/p>\n

\"Indo<\/a><\/p>\n

Look at all of these different COWRIES!<\/p>\n

\"indo<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Gorgeous MARGINELLAS…<\/p>\n

\"Marginella<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0So many varieties of TOP SHELLS…<\/p>\n

\"indo<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0We loved finding these little LIMPETS and FALSE LIMPETS.<\/p>\n

\"Thailand<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0I love this little tiny LIMPET but in my research found that it looked more like the FALSE LIMPETS (that’s as far as I got with the research on these guys)…<\/p>\n

\"tiny<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0I know I’ve already showed you some of these SEA COOKIE SAND DOLLARS but they are so darn cute I think you might have to look at them on every Thailand post. I can’t get enough of them!<\/p>\n

\"sea<\/a><\/p>\n

See? Already I have to show you how itty bitty this one is…<\/p>\n

\"tiny<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0The AUGERS we found are huuugah! Most of them are around 3-4 inches long.<\/p>\n

\"thailand<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0These are some of the CONCH shells we found… well I assume they are all in the CONCH family but I could be wrong. There are just so many different species! I’ll try to identify them later. Cuties, right?<\/p>\n

\"andaman<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Clark is dieing for me to show you his 2 major finds but I still haven’t gotten good photographs of them yet so that will be my next post. I promise, Clark! Next post! \u00a0;) \u00a0…\u00a0\u0e08\u0e19\u0e01\u0e27\u0e48\u0e32\u0e08\u0e30\u0e41\u0e25\u0e49\u0e27 (Until then)<\/p>\n
