Photo of the Week, Gold Leaf Buddha, Golden Palace, Bangkok
This week I have selected something a little different. This is a small Buddha in the center of the Golden Palace, Bangkok. Buddhists take a small section of gold leaf and place it on the Buddha after praying. In my time in Asia I saw so many Buddha’s it was unreal but this was one…

Ko Chang (New Year), Thailand, December 2010
What I did… Skip to the images… On New Years Eve I saw an upturned fruit truck on the way to Ko Chang with many Thai guys around it crying. I can only assume the driver did not fair too well. Not a good start to the New Year period! Got to Ko Chang and…

What I did… Skip to the images… I got up early next morning to go back to Pattaya to meet Ad, Daz, Cliff and Skitt from back home. Found a cheap apartment a few streets back from the chaos, but it was owned by some CRAZY Russian guy! Managed to get in touch with the…
