Brainwashing

This is the front cover of a typical Thai comic. The Thai people genuinely believe in 'pee' (ghosts) and its not hard to figure out why when this is the sort of stuff they read! Most of the Thai TV programs and films usually employ the same sort of imagery.

Frog mash anyone?

Being in the middle of the monsoon season these buggers are everywhere which is bad news for them as they get squished with horrific frequency beneath the wheels of cars and motorcycles........

Jazzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

June 2-4 is 'jazz on the beach' time in Hua Hin. This year Bill Bruford is playing live...woooo hoooo. Should be great while sinking a few cold ones. They build 2 huge stages on the sand with great light shows and a humungus sound system. I will post some pics after the event.

Port or starbucks

Thai warships in the exclusion zone in front of the Kings palace, ready to wisk him away should there be any trouble. I'm surprised they didn't use the small fishing boat in the foreground for shelling practise!

Fat Yanks

One of the many pier restaurants that jut out over the sea. I cant believe some of them are still standing as a lot of the timbers look as thin as match wood. Every time i eat in one of them i feel as if i want to crawl on the floor to spread my weight evenly.
It would only take one family of big arsed Mac Donald eating Americans to eat here and the whole lot would become drift wood.

Hand job

This young Thai lives in this hand cart with his small baby. He pulls it around all day and makes balloon animals which he sells in the evening hopefully to young children on holiday with their parents.
