Probably back to being just a pile of sand now that it's over, but some nice photos. Pete

Ban Krud exhibits sand sculptures from April 14-16, 2014, to promote tourism in Bang Saphan district, Prachuap Khiri Khan. Photos by Tawatchai Kemkumnerd.

Yes Pete, it's amazing what some people can do with some sand. Apparently it's a regular activity on the beaches in Durban, South Africa. The people who do the sculptures do it to earn a living from tips they get from the public. A few images in the below link but they are far from the best I've seen.

I remember a sand sculpture competition here in Hua Hin when I was on holiday a few years ago. The sculptors spent all day creating their masterpieces, only for it all to be washed away by the rain shower from hell. I've never seen it since, which is a real shame.

On the theme of sand sculptures although UK not Thailand, I was amazed at the following examples.
