Pattaya in April. The aquarium tunnel first, sharks and rays overhead, then the hotel, then the beach as the sun goes down over the mudflats.

A black-tipped shark passing close overhead in front of a large rock in teal water
Lionfish in profile with long red and white striped fins spread wide against a dark blue blurred background
Another lionfish, or the same one revisited, now in full profile: long feathered fins spread wide, striped red and cream, its body tapering into a fan of a tail. Behind it, blurred blue light spots float like stage lights. It drifts slowly past the glass, the last slow pan of the afternoon, before the screen fades to blue.
Eel with a black and white leopard-like pattern peeking out of a terracotta pot in a dark tank
An eel pokes its head out of a terracotta pot, patterned in black blotches on white like a leopard print. Its mouth is slightly open. The pot is ringed with grooves and chipped at the rim. Behind, the tank fades to blue darkness. It looks like a puppet rising from a vase to deliver one line.

A low sun over wide, shining mudflats beside the yellow railing of a long causeway
Next evening, different shore. The tide here has drained away almost entirely, leaving broad mudflats that shine like wet slate under a low white sun. A yellow railing runs off along the left edge, straight as a ruler. Thin channels wander through the mud. It is twenty to six and the whole view has the stillness of a frozen frame.
