Thailand Rockstars

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, I think it is...

Anyway where were we? That's right, a day beach trip. We go walkabout down by the rocks. It's like the Thais are allergic to the sun. Westerners sunbake in it, and the Thais try to avoid it at all costs...

Because they don't want their skin to be dark...

To me, dark skin is beautiful and very attractive. But it seems that a lot of Thai people cherish and prefer white skin. All I can say is, very strange...

But there you go... Just one of those amazing things about Thailand culture I guess...

By the way, the digital (Nikon D70) really pulls out the colors for this above shot. Got a lovely glow to it... Nice. A long lens always gives me room to explore.




The Thai people seemed to have fully embraced the mobile phone. It's such a huge part of the lifestyle here. Even students in schools (at school)... It's like, pretty much everyone has got a number. All linked to a huge communications network...

Everybody is contactable...

Hey! Me too. I'm part of the network... I gotta number too... But sometimes I'll turn the lil' cutesy communication device off...

Above shot... I think they're looking at either a digital camera or a mobile phone picture...




Late afternoon or getting towards it.

Great feeling to this picture... Playful... Enjoyable...


...And happy valentine's day too!
