Nice pics!

Sunsets in Thailand are brief and if there aren't any clouds, it's basically a big red ball sinking into an ever-present soup of air pollution.

If there are high-level cirrus with lots of big cumulonimbus along the horizon all the better but I prefer the longer sunsets in the northern hemisphere in the summer; the sun doesn't go down as fast and there's less air pollution!

The summers at home are definately better - if the conditions are right. Otherwise its a grey day slowly turning dark

I think you are, on average, bound to get a better sunset in Thailand.

My 1st pic was at home, about 8.40 one june evening, a few years ago.

THe sunsets are very brief true but in Hua Hin this is very little air pollution. I can see the Milky Way most nights unless it is cloudy or there is much of a moon.

Buy a decent telescope, then! I tried to buy a good scope when I lived in Bangkok but I couldn't find a store that sold anything usable; Singapore or KL would be a better bet.

As my first load of photos are from SURIN (spelt correct guys?) beach in Phuket, here's where it lands. But it will not be restricted to beach photos...

.. before we start however, I have to show you my photo of the umberalla, as they'll not likely get a mention elsehwere

Yes, fantastic sunset at Surin beach...I wonder...if that ageing American gentleman is still serving at the beach...that's some guy with energy running to & fro the bar serving drinks in the heat of the day ?

Back to the sunsets then.

Saturday 23rd June, sunset at chez Dougal's.

And then the same scene five minutes later.

Red sky at night; shepherd's delight. Only if he likes thunder and lightning, because that's what I got a couple of hours later.

klongmaster · 26-06-2007, 02:02 PM

this one is particularly nice

Not a sunset but a sunrise in Chanthaburi, these pictures were taken less than a minute apart.
