TantraMantra Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I don't mean to be morbid. The pictures are great but when I see images like this I always wonder how old the people are now and if they are dead yet. They're Memento mori to me translated as "Remember your mortality", "Remember you must die" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimincm Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Great shots,always happy to see and learn what my new home used to be like,try sitting with some old Grandfathers and getting yesterday out of them, you'll both be delighted. A lot of Song Khran shots, this my favourite,looks a bit more frenzied than today for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elektrified Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Great photos thanks for sharing. Has anyone ever noticed the large (huge) photo hanging above inside Wororot Market? We just noticed it for the first time the other day. I was with some Thai friends who grew up in C.M. and they never noticed it before either. Does anyone know the history of it or who the people in the photo are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I don't mean to be morbid. The pictures are great but when I see images like this I always wonder how old the people are now and if they are dead yet. They're Memento mori to me translated as "Remember your mortality", "Remember you must die" Yes, I know what you mean. I selected a bunch of these pics for a web page a while ago, and this picture in particular made me wonder: This particular shot is from 1950. If we assume that the cute girls in the middle were 20 years old at the time, then they're well into their eighties now.. Secondly: they were wearing regular shorts and blouses for Songkran.. Currently EVERY year there's some stuffy politician uncle or auntie who claims that in the old days everyone was wearing traditional modest Lanna costume. Well, think again. Same with the folks who claim that as recent as 10 years ago (in some stories) Songkran was so much more quiet and respectful.. Well, the pictures say otherwise.

xen Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Really enjoyed the photos ,Thanks for them . But what i did notice in a lot of the photos was how uncluttered the electrical wires were on the posts. Now they are just a tangled mess . And how "neat" everything was. Amazing Thailand .
