The Gombak and Klang rivers join together right in the middle of Malaysia’s capital city. The Jamek Mosque is located just North of where they meet.

From this little shrine one could view Patong Beach across Beach Road. It’s a small but very active shrine at the North end of Patong Beach. There was often someone burning incense or making an offering.

Guan Di Temple is a shrine to the Chinese God of War. Long strings of spiral incense cones hang from the lintel to perfume the air.
One can see Guan Di in Kuala Lumpur’s Chinatown near Petaling Street.

When I lived in the US, and I’d buy a pack of frozen shrimp, more often than not it came from Thailand. That astounded me as Thailand is about as far as one can go to get shrimp. Even with freezing, there is a time factor involved. There are both US and US adjacent/proximal producers of shrimp, but Thailand is still a low-cost producer for US markets even with transportation costs figured in.
It’s interesting to be in a place were prices for a shrimp dish are the same as for pork or beef, and sometimes even the same as for chicken.
From Phuket you can see the fleets of fishing trawlers working it all day long.

One of the cool things about Phuket is a huge Chinese influence relative to other parts of Thailand. Phuket Town is loaded with historic Chinese shrines of all sorts. However, there are also many more modern ones, such as the one above, around the island.
