Looks like boy-monk is taking the lead. Apparently the 'authorities' are now trying to ban tour operators and tourism companies using images of monks or Buddhas in their promotional material.

Yes, I voted for the young monk, despite my reservations about the orange bucket and the pink bowl...

Have to say, sunsets are beautiful, but erm, there is one every day.

I voted for #5, a good pic and as many stories behind it as there are faces. A happy pirate ship not, or maybe yes? Some smiles and waves, some frowns, and some hiding their faces. For sure a mix of Thai, Cambodian, Burmese and probably others, Bangledishi's(sp), Indonesian illegals etc. Even a mama san supervising out the upper window (of is she the Captain?...LOL), and a young lass on deck stitching nets, perhaps next to her husband/boyfriend.

A good "slice of real life" photo from here. Pete

A happy pirate ship / fishing boat maybe, (when they are alongside the quay wall) at sea they tend to get rather drunk on whisky and start fighting, some crew members end up getting thrown overboard, my wife has lost three cousens this way

Kendo.

I like the monk as well, he has that far away look in his eyes. Gives the picture depth and a sense of wonder...

[BaaBaa.]

I went for 2, its just..................................Thailand.

[Guess]

I narrowed the difficult selection down to 1, 2 & 3 as I think they are all Thailand as it is rather than what we would like to see or what the TAT would like show you.

Does number 2 have a clue to the photographer there (Credit Suisse).

Difficult choice but number 1 for me.

[margaretcarnes]

I think 8 is much more effective image than 10 for sea/sunset. The young monk is brilliant - love the look in his eyes. But 2, although it could use much more depth and light, is the non touristy reality that makes LOS what it is for us.

Why does number 4 not fully load for me.
All the other pics are fine but I only get the top bit of 4.
Why? Anyone offer a suggestion??

Works fine here, clear your browser cache press ctrl+F5 to refresh and don't use IE!

[sandman67]

is number 12 the satellite mast for Hua Hin's new wifi service?

[ozuncle]

Buksi,
Cache cleared.
I was using G Chrome.
I tried it with IE and it worked but all the photos took a long time to display.

I have tried it with GC on numerous occasions and everyone except number 4 display very quickly.
Oh well not to worry.

[redzonerocker]

quite a difficult choice for me too, but i went for number 1.

I thought 1, who would trust that much hardware to a wooden raft.
