I think there’s only thing that can save me. And this blog.
From being nuked.
And that is… I need to make serious online money. Not little fluffy bits of green paper, but substantial moula.
You know what I’m talking about, right?
With more cash I can truly explore more, be more creative and be more comfortable. Of [...]

Here in southern Thailand things are different.
Just like every new country you travel to, right…?

I was chancing out on a small journey and I came across these…
…superb, unusually modified, handmade choppers…
Radical eh.

This is the type of thing you find hidden away down here in Trang, southern Thailand. I myself wouldn’t choose this type of transport, [...]

No such thing.
I’m frustrated at myself. Not at them. They’re perfect. This country has an abundance of beautiful girls. Thailand girls…
Lovely, uplifting, intelligent Thailand girls…
Funny, sensitive, approachable…
Frustration might not be the right word. Perhaps abundance would be better…
There’s so many of them, and there’s only one of me!
I need to be cloned. It’s ridiculous.
Just think… [...]

Is this Thailand culture?
I guess it is…
I said I would talk about Thailand ladyboys and that sort of thing… But I haven’t got to that yet. As far as I know, there’s not a ladyboy anywhere on this blog. Instead it’s pictures of a Thailand lifestyle, and very far south Thailand adventures, or at least, [...]

Thailand culture… mixed with internet income = Freedom baby!

Hi again. This is me sitting in my studio, holding my first affiliate check. Why am I doing this? Because I want to show you that it is possible to operate an online business (and make money) anywhere with an internet connection…
Even right down here in Trang, [...]

Thailand culture…
In a school somewhere very far south west Thailand. If you look carefully you will see me in the process of rolling a very inspiration joint, or wacky tobaccy, of good, south Thailand head.*
I am very focused on the task at hand. You will also notice a goose down jacket on my seat. [...]

Thailand people…

What a laid back country. It’s radically good. Crazy. Insane at times. But good, it seems, for me.
I get to meet lovely Thai girls (story coming soon) and travel to different parts of Thailand. Walk through caves in my underwear, visit hot springs with monkeys, explore bustling market places. You’ve got to admit, it’s [...]

Thailand culture - children…
When I travel in Thailand I always relate well to children. Our communication seems to be effortless and innocent. Children love to see the digital instantaneous picture appear on the LCD on camera back. It’s magical.

Maybe I could do a book just on Thai children…
Notice how they strike the ‘pistol grip’ pose [...]

Thailand culture…
Yes I am an artist. My little friend lives nearby. Sometimes, when the need calls for it, I drink condensed milk. Straight outa’ da can. Not often, but it does happen. It’s a habit I picked up in Australia. Artists do these things, right.

Whatever. This is my kitchen in my home. Strange? Probably.
Now this [...]

Thailand culture…
I visited the little island of Koh Libong for about one week. It wasn’t long after the tsunami, in March this year (2005). Time is doing more than flying - it’s on hypodrive. Before we know it, it’ll be 2020. These images are from March.
Koh Libong is about 1 hour or so from Trang. [...]

Thailand culture continued:
I told you the Thais were football crazy. See, even the rain don’t stop ‘em. And why should it. After all, it’s just water…
It’s great to see so much passion…

Now for something slightly different (above)…
The Osama Posse
No, it’s not serious. It’s just children striking a fun pose for me at [...]

Thailand culture…
A colorful display of Thai athletes at the local ’sanamkila’ or stadium. All the color - it’s fantastic. I just go there for the experience, the feeling, the atmosphere. The Thais get right into supporting their own team. Dancing and drumming and horns and movement… uplifting.

The Thais are football mad. No, crazy… about [...]

Thailand Culture…
Trang has lots of celebrations. It’s the way Thai culture seems to be. This little sparky picture is at the Loy Kratong festival. It’s great how the little boy gets that sparkler right in there near the unknowing person’s foot. It’s all in fun.
This whole region has huge photographic potential.

This (above) picture was [...]

Floods are evaporating under warm sun. Very windy. Peaceful. Decided I would show you some glimpses of my life. This is me (above) with friend in my home in Trang. See what I am (not) wearing? That’s everyday wear, almost…
Ok, if it’s hot that’s my style. If it gets cold I’ll be wearing layers of [...]

Thailand culture continued…
Looks like Trang will soon be a floating city…
It’s a wall of rain. But I’ve got faith roads will be open and I can get to the border. Might need to drive some sort of amphibious vehicle though…
Got some more pics from the flooding. These images show you that, even when the Thais [...]

This is Thailand culture…
3 days of sunshine down here dries out most things. The water really made a mess of shops and homes. It’s a big cleansing. The town needed it I guess. No trains, but trucks seem to be getting through.
Anyway thought I would show you some general Thailand culture - lifestyle images from [...]

THAILAND CULTURE…
This is Trang…
Beautiful, noisy, sweet tea drinking, hard to understand the accent, southern Thailand town. Rich in culture. Very few westerners. Not at all set up for us. Very few Thais speak English down here. Good place to learn to speak Thai.

By the way, the town is still cut off. Morning I go explore. [...]

THAILAND CULTURE…
I woke up to a sunny day. The dawn looked all warm, bright and alive. People
are up and about. Water is going down…
Still lots of problems about, and repairs to be done. Removing fish from
house. Finding somewhere dry to sit. Doing something about the electrical
system.
The world (you and me) needs to get [...]

THIS IS THAILAND CULTURE
OK…Here’s my update from Trang. I read that nearby Hat Yai residents are freaking out. Hat Yai has the convenience of flooding very, very quickly. I recall being there after a few hours of solid rain… Before I knew it there was a foot of water sloshing around the streets.
It was “…a [...]
