That's a wax image... there are several of famous monks there...

Villages up in the hills are several degrees cooler than down in the valleys... all year round. They are mostly hill-tribes who are looked down upon by thais as second-class people. Although hard-working and not wasteful they are still poorer than the Thais and have less opportunities to work at good wages. The kids wear clothing out in a year so yes, they do need new each year.

Those who sit back and scoff about 'where has the last lot gone..' do not deserve the plenty they enjoy with their superior attitudes..... I feel sorry for them...and probably never donated a thing in their lives.

So what youre telling us is they wear thick winter clothing all year till its worn out rather than wear it when it gets a bit chilly for a week in december? No wonder they feel the cold up there. Im off up there in a week or so to enjoy riding round the mountains without sweating my nads off in a mesh jacket n kevlar jeans....and no. Its not cold up there all year round.

I never said it was cold in the hills all-year-round... i said it is cooler.

It is not the people who are complaining ... they just get on with their lives... it is the Govt declaring the emergency.

The adults get on with their work and know how to dress but it's the kids who need the clothing most. They wear it all-year-round and it soon wears out. I often ask them if they are not too hot wearing the warm tops and pants even when the sun is hot and they say no. Remember that Asians are different to us from colder climates and do not sweat so much.

Blankets are good so sleep in or wear around the shoulders when sitting in front of a fire...but get in the way when moving about and working.

No that is not a grave... just a part of a bamboo fence..

I do not know how they kill it... but if you look at a previous photo showing the shaving of a white pig...it is dead but no blood showing, so they didn't cut its throat....although that is the karen tribe whereas the black pig is with the Lahu tribe.

direct from my Thai famers bank or by cash or what?

Do I need more than the bank name, branch code, account number, account name?

Optical stabilisation works OK on my phone...running after the kid

Why do they still refer to him as a monk? The second he has sex he became only a false monk....guaranteed a long stay in hell.

1,000 baht is still cheaper than paying 3,000 baht for it at the British Consulate...

The Residence Certificate from Immigration which can be used as confirmation of address. These are also required for renewing a Thai driving license. I did this a few months ago. Can i use the old copies of that one or will I need to make a new one (cost 1,000 Baht)???

Maybe these should be in panos too?
