bobbyd1 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Sad - A dying breed in Thailand, the Samlar. This was my main mode of transportation around town back in 1972. This guy was still hard at it in Chiang Rai. His Samlar seems a little run down and used to say the least. There is also a group that takes tourist around town. Glad that is still going.

Garry Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Apple Aperture, is probably one of the best photo editors around of late. In the hands of a an avid user, the program really makes an already quality photo, a realistic photo as seen through the naked eye and not just the camera lense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are quite stubborn when it comes to adopting new technology, so I suspect smoke signals will be with us for some time to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyd1 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 "Say Hello to my little Friend, Tokay's (Gecko) defend their territory against intruders of the same species and of other species. These geckos can inflict severe bites if they are sufficiently threatened. (They emit a hissing or croaking noise). During the Vietnam war years we called them, "(can not mention) You, " Lizards, because their croaks sound like the word. They do keep the spider and other insect population in check, so welcome them to your home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villagefarang Posted May 10, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2013 One of my favorite reservoirs revisited yesterday. Water level is down a bit and it was hot as hell but at least the air is clean and I can ride the Mt. Bike again. I asked the ladies fishing in the shallows if they had caught anything. Their cheerful response was yes, a lot, but they were very small. They assured me their meager catch would be enough for a meal, however. They probably spent the rest of their day commenting on the Farang who stopped to ask of their catch before continuing on his bike ride. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post villagefarang Posted May 16, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2013 These pumpkins are a favored dry season crop around our village. We only have enough water for one rice crop so alternatives need to be found for the rest of the year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the pre-event parade where they collect donations from people in the village. People wait by their homes to donate or perhaps hide in their houses to avoid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things are going on everywhere this time of year. Saw one rocket go up this evening before the storm hit. It was East of us toward the mountains. If you do stop by, we promise not to shoot you.
