Green

I like green color in photography and I have taken a number of pictures over the weekend outside of Bangkok at a place where serenity is brought by the combination of green colors with different intensity.To an amateur photo-simply-shooter, green color is very much a decorative element in a my picture, probably green color has a soothing effect to the person who views it, a bad picture will eventually turn out to be better one with the help of lots of green color in it. Don't trust me? Give it a try yourself.
After a week of stressful working days, I reward myself with a breakaway in the green, let's indulge in the Ancient City where the green still prevails...

Water is supposed to be blue, but here, it is green, green prevails


I enjoy looking at calm picture with deep breathe, very relaxing...Zzzzz



This place is so well maintained, probably because it is a king's project. Nobody could question the sincere respect of the Thais to their king, and that's the reason why...


Even the signboard is in green


Guan Gong came to Thailand! What a mixture of cultural artifact...

The symbol of pride for the males...



Green makes people calm, as it is quieting, refreshing and reassuring. We feel reassured, when we see green, as green signifies something good. Green at a traffic light means you are safe to go, green food keeps you healthy,green means young, or perhaps, green color on the fertility chart means you are safe to have sex without a condom...

Sawadeekrup Thailand
I am currently in Bangkok for some not-so-silly-monkey-business here. My impression on Thailand is that, it has the friendliest people in the world who are full of courtesy in showing respect to their acquaintances and also their visitors. You will truly feel that you are someone important during your stay in Thailand. I also notice that Thais don’t differentiate each other by their ethnic groups, they mix around with everyone without considering, what kind of skin color they have and what kind of background they are from, or perhaps, what kind of gender they are… Male, female or? (You know it).

This attitude has been instilled and has become their culture since few hundred years ago, Remember what we studied in history during secondary school time? Thailand was the only country in South East Asia, which had never been colonized by anyone before. Their strategy was through the sincere respect and understanding shown by the Thai King to the “Giants” who came here with the intention to grab their resources.
Pictures taken at the hotel room...

I Hope that I own this queen size bed…

…The LCD TV and a little space for laptop

…And some cabinet areas to store my junks, I got a lot of junks

Some old pics digged from my old desktop PC, I realized that I was fond of taking candid pictures of people

Thai Youngsters on the street

Some Thai Street fashion ?

My favorite pants, I am wearing a pair now!

Ang moh, in search of "kang tao"

Singlet for scorching heat

Sky train

Plenty of Japanese bookstores are available in the town, probably Thailand is a good place for retired Japanese to settle down?


Huge Billboards



Look at the huge billboards, I guess the rental for advertisement space is not so costly

An old cinema spotted. There was one in my hometown, I remember some male visitors would take off their clothes during movies because of the scorching heat... Those were the days

Water Thief?
Just my assumption
I saw a fire department's water hydrant along the roadside with an additional hose attached to one of the outlets. hmm... I was wondering if somone has attached this purposely to get free water from it. Anyway, just my little piece of assumption. I hope there is a water hyrant outside of my place so that I could get free and strong stream of water to wash my car. Where can I get one of these hoses.


The hose was attached to one of the outlets on the water hydrant. With the other end of the hose hidden under the metal lid, so that no one will see it.

No pain no gain. I am sure the person who attached the hose had made a painstaking effort to open up this huge cover. It is not easy to get free water though...



Let's open the metal lid to see what the hose looks like. Ya, it is a hose, the source of "Free" water

One of the economic theories says:
There is no free lunch - Everything in this world comes with a cost. Even if you are too lucky to pick up something valuable on the floor, don't you ever think it is free when you have no need to pay for it. There is definitely a cost associated with the thing you pick up. Someone might have dropped it, and that person has to bear the cost for losing it. The cost does not come to you, but it goes to another person. Come to think of it, Do you still think it is free?

Win Win Deal

I was browsing through the internet in search for a suitable property to rent on behalf of my friend and there was such eye catching deal for ladies, entitled: "Free Room available for lady in KL/PJ". I thought such offer could only be seen in western countries where casual se x is widely practised, guess what, It has come to our shore, right here!! This "landlord" is offering a free room for ladies to stay in exchange of her "services".


Eye cathing deal, a win win deal between the landlord and the potential lady tenant


The description is like this:

"Room available for female only, No rent payable but in exchange for personal adul t services to a good looking guy.

If interested, please send details and pic to xxx@xxx.com"
What a deal...

Something extra, this lady has put up her pic to get a place to rent. Probably she knows that a lot of people are choosy for housemates. Look does matter!
