Garry Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 While I am here, thank you Garry for pushing me over 3000.Didn't I give you the push over 2000 as well? Just confidence mind you as I wasn't looking for it Sent from my SM-T211 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) Riding through the hills of Phaya Mengrai. I like all your photos VF, but more so this one That is very interesting. I actually posted this one as an afterthought. I thought it might be too cluttered and flat, because of the cloud cover, but it is getting a fairly good response on Google+, as well. I ride past this area on one of my regular bike routes. That is actually what I like about it, being more to see in the image. Don't get me wrong, as I like your open shots but images with more going on appeal to me as well Sent from my SM-T211 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Edited September 6, 2013 by Garry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post scorpio1945 Posted September 6, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2013 The red clay? Color running through the middle is what does it for me. Sets up a nice contrast.

Choonpon Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Wat Rong Khun http://static.thaivisa.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/smile.png It is said that the abbot of the temple built it exactly according to what he saw after visiting the heaven.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Strange it was designed by a very rich local artist. The abbot came along long after it was built.

He showed us a lot of drawings and future plans. Sent from my SM-T211 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 The red clay? Color running through the middle is what does it for me. Sets up a nice contrast. That iron rich red clay isn’t everywhere but there is a lot of it in the hills. Hard packed and smooth it is a great riding surface, but muddy and rutted it, makes for slow going and a very messy ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there is anyone who hasn’t met him while visiting his tourist attraction. He sure put the little village of Rong Khun on the map. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Garry Posted September 7, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) I waited nearly 10 minutes for this photo, so that no one was in the shot. I used a little Sony Cybershot P100 for the photo. Not a great photo quality wise, but better than nothing and this was several years ago, as I have upgraded since then Edited September 7, 2013 by Garry 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
