A young girl on her first at the school for the blind -- Lampang, 2003

a can of Leo and a smoke!

And no helmet...

This one has always been my favorite...

A young girl on her first at the school for the blind -- Lampang, 2003

A hauntingly beautiful picture of a young girl. Was she frightened of her first school day or sad because of her handicap ? Despite the picture needing a little editing, I find it one of the best I've seen in a ling time. Thanks for posting.

Taken in Kanchanaburi in 2005 when my mate took over the controls from a rather drunk cycle rickshaw rider.

Maybe not my best but absolutely different. Taken on Koh Kradan early in the morning.

I clearly see an elephant - on its stomach with front legs slightly bent in front of it.

Here is the same one but in color.

Hmm, I see a wolf but maybe that´s what we sometimes had in my region in Sweden.

(no, I never saw one myself!!)

I think the B&W gives more room for the viewers fantasy ?

Same elephant, now after a mud bath.

Taken in Chiang Mai

Nice one Dabchick. It seems she did not really know what to do next. Can I trust this guy or not?

As for Svenivan photo, I also prefer the black and white photo, I have a wild imagination.

My wife's great niece. This shot is unusual because she's not usually in a ..... pensive?... mood.

Should I go or should I not?

I guess she did not go...

TIT what could be better...... wife unit in white..enjoy life!! Olympus cheapy. Not the skilled photographer... but it was a great party

It sure looks like a great one

And we're looking at you.

And we look good also...

yes, very dull, and im new at photography... but it was a lovely day, and some of that emotion comes back when I look at this snap on the way to Burma.

yes, very dull

Well, I have seen a lot of dull photos, especially mine, I discard most of them, but the one you posted is sure not one of them.

And I have been trying for ages to take a good picture of the Thai flag.

Not so easy to get a nice picture of a flag.

So, I did it again today...

Almost 7 years ago since I last caught a flag on camera.

Bangkok Car Show 2009

Poi spent two nights in the hospital with asthma last week. She recovered and came to my favourite restaurant with her Mother and a couple of friends, of which I was one. I reckon that's one of the best photos I've ever taken in Thailand, but not for the photogenic qualities, but because she was there to star in the show. Poi is four years old. I don't have permission to publish this, but have no doubt that she and her Mother would approve if I asked.

I sure can relate to that, Sean.

Happened to the little one quite a few times

One of the last episode...

It is off-topic for the purpose of this thread mate, but I've been in the hospital with asthma (back in Perth, Au) a few times over the past decade, and for the sake of her quick recovery, if you can, try to teach her how to keep track of her blood/oxy levels with the little monitor they put on our fingers, and unstrap the mask from her head when she is awake, and let her breathe on her own, when she is competent to do so. The most accurate indication of an asthma attack comes from the mind of the patient. Sometimes, we just want to breathe the fresh air in the ward, but this should be in knowing what our blood/oxy readings are as it shows on the monitor from the little clip that goes on our fingers.

I wish that child, like Poi, my hotel cleaner's daughter, the best of health and a fresh air environment by the sea for a long and happy life.

Now, please as I've drifted off-topic, let's return to the photographs of wonderful things in Thailand.

The little one is getting better when getting older, so, hopefully, he'll be out of the woods when older.

But indeed, back to topic.

Did you ever eat flying squirrels?

I did not but I know where you can buy some if you fancy trying...

Almost 7 years ago since I last caught a flag on camera.

Nice one.

Can you post it in the flag thread also Thai flag ...

Caught a clear day from Vichaiyut Hospital:
