Kelong in Kampung Puju.

Kelong is a form of offshore platform built predominantly with wood. Kelongs are built by fishermen primarily for fishing purposes, although larger structures can also function as dwellings for them and their families. They are built without the need for nails, using rattan to bind tree trunks and wooden planks together.

On the second day of 'Aidiladha or 'Eid Hajj, I paid my Thai relatives a visit in Satun, Southern Thailand, after many years of absence.

'Eid Flavours
