While I prefer #3's composition, the clearer presence of shadows and the strong contrast between highlights and darks make #4 more attractive then #3 .

Dummies up an alley!

Ah! One of these new & secure gated communities I see! Good one Ron.

Hey DAL you sitting on the ground again? or have you got really short legs !!! nice one

Sort of an alley, between bungalows off the beach!

Bangkok's Blade-Runner alley. Where the drinking starts very, very early.

[edit] The photo is too dark but that's really how it is in there...^

^^^ DAL is the soi 5 end bar still called Tunnel Bar?

Nice friendly Thais in there years ago, used to play pool for drinks in there and win lose 50/50.

I remember a poster or sign of some train system (London I think) on the wall facing it.

Thanks BC! Hau Thanon, (AKA the Muslim Village) is one of my favorite places on Samui to wander around with a camera.... some areas are well let's say very untidy, but it all has a charm about it!

This new building some how does not "fit it" ...

When I was in Phuket I visited a Muslim Village where you got on a boat and had a choice of several floating restaurants..Mostly local patrons but now I think they take tour buses there, so it has probably lost some it's charm and increased the prices

However the village had a wonderful array of extrmely brightly painted houses. Some with 5 or more colours on the one house!!. Unfortunately no camera at the time. Maybe someone in Phuket knows this place? and has some pictures?

cheers

i found one and put on street shots
