Saving a turtle on Klong Dao

Today a large fishing net with a tangle of ropes washed up onto the beach. Caught inside was a small turtle. We managed to get it free and it was uninjured and still strong.


The resort staff had other ideas - saying they need it for good luck and a blessing - and the turtle was wisked away - half an hour later he was returned and they all prayed for good luck and then he was finally released - thankfully the talcum powder disappeared as it swam away.
