Sunset in Bangkok
Taken at a market stall on Khao Sahn Road in Bangkok. A vendor was selling an array of these stuffed toys in various sizes and ferocity. I ended up picking up a Ninja doll and a lovestruck Mummy doll, both made from wrapping a human-shape figure from head to toe in string. Fun little toys that I hadn’t seen here in Oz, and this shot just looked like the last shot taken before the Monster party got completely out of control ;o)
When I lived in Bangkok, even though I had a car, one of my favourite ways of getting around was by Tuk Tuk. Three wheeled machines that defy all laws of physics, and the road. This image was taken with a very wide lens as we sped through traffic to our destination. Lot’s of fun :<)

Wandering around Bangkok back streets shortly after the sun came up, everything was so picturesque it was hard to know what to shoot. This scene stood out to me, and has been one of my most popular prints.

Bangkok’s infamous floating market. Who would have thought you could buy food, bags, shoes and furniture on the float?! Just another way of life…
The Siamese had a few tales on how the head ended up here. One, the Burmese-Siamese civil war damaged the ancient statues. Two, the French had cut off all Buddha heads when they conquered in the late 1600s. Three, burglars had tried to steal the head but it was too heavy so they gave up and left it. And last (but not least), burglars had tried to steal the head to sell at lucrative prices but were chased by guards. To hide the head they left it in the woods. Whichever tale you believe, years upon years tree roots had overgrown the head – as if protecting it from bad intentions. / This picture was taken in the second ancient city, Ayutthya, Thailand.
This was taken in January 2008 at the Tiger Temple, not far from Bangkok, Thailand.

Taken in Bangkok, Thailand at the Sri Mariamman Temple. This Hindu temple was built in 1860 and is dedicated to the Goddess Mariamman. There are actually other temples such as this one in Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. I have added it to my list of things to do, that is, visit the other temples in the world.

Taken at Wat Rakhang in Bangkok, Thailand. This temple is a little more obscure in terms of tourist attractions but what attracted me to it was the fact that it apparently had a nice collection of bells. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the temple itself was surrounded by these small chimes that rang with the waving of the wind. Even more pleasantly surprised was I when I realized that there was a class being held in the temple. What caught my eye was the traditional tattoo on the younger monks shoulder.

This is an incense burner that I bought on Koh Kred island; a small man-made island just outside of Bangkok, Thailand. It is home to the Mon community, known to be skilled potters. The island is small enough that you can go around on foot in about a couple of hours (no cars are allowed). The guide told us to walk so that the water was always to our left so that we would not lose our way. I of course realized at one point that the water was to my right … typical! In trying to find my way back, I stumbled upon this building that had pottery work as far as the eye could see. As I was taking photos, a woman grabbed my arm and lead me in to a row of four men who were spinning pottery … my own private showing!

My first morning in Bangkok. Halloween 2008. I went for a stroll looking for coffee. This guy hadn’t had his yet wither it seemed. Canon Rebel XT (x-tra trout-a-licious!)
A spectacular flowstone formation dwarfs a cave explorer in an enormous stream cave in western Thailand. The cave, Tham Lum Khao Ngu, is located in a National Park of the same name in Kanchanaburi Province west of Bangkok. The lighting is natural sunlight filtering into the cave from an upstream entrance and a karst window downstream. The caver is in the picture to give the formation scale. The picture was taken with a Nikon FM2 set on a tripod with shutter release cable and an exposure of about 2 seconds, using Kodachrome film.
