Lightning lights up the Hua Hin skyline during a monsoon storm. During the rainy season cloud bursts are common and soak you in seconds. Mind you, you are dry in as many seconds.
Burmese kids plead for money from visitors arriving by boat. Its easy to feel sorry for them but shortly after this picture was taken they all stuck two fingers up at us....!
On a trip to Myanmar formally known as Burma. I much prefer the name Burma as i do the name Siam over Thailand. Its always a diffucult trip as you get hounded by dozens of begging kids everywhere you go.
Shopping at a local market. Note how an inverted fan draws the smoke away from the meat cooking. The smells and noise at these markets is overpowering but fantastic. The people although poor are so friendly.
Just before the start of the 'Kings cup' mountain bike race. Little did i know what lay in store! But i did finish and received a shiny gold medal for my troubles. The main problems were the intense heat and lack of water around the course.
