More than a year after return from Thailand, finally managed to sort my pictures and get them to presentable form. Spent 2 weeks on the east and west coast islands of Phuket, Phi Phi, Koh Samui and Koh Pha Ngan and shot more than 1000 photos with the Panasonic FZ7 camera. After some editing (and heavy use of the Delete button

, got less than 50 to post here. Hope u enjoy them.

Will post more photos soon.

Nice pics. Thanks for sharing.

lovethai · 23-08-2009, 04:42 AM

some more shots, all taken near Phi Phi islands, mostly small one, called Bamboo island by the locals. really nice beaches there, its national park and you have to pay round 200 baht if u want to disband your boat and walk on the beach.

Nice pictures lovethai. I like the last one best of all, certainly brings back a few memories.

lovethai · 24-08-2009, 06:35 PM

took this one, when on the bus from krabi to surat thani harbours. still not sure if the 1st person is girl or boy or something in between. the only person not sleeping seems to be the monk on the back seat.

bustak · 24-08-2009, 09:22 PM

^ the only one who's awake is the monk, nice.

Great pictures! I really like this one:

Yup, good stuff. Post some more please.

after arriving on Phi Phi Don island, biggest surprise (pleasant one) was lack of any kind of regular roads for cars. this was the only available ''TAXI'' service which would get your bags at the harbour and deliver them to your room.

we stayed in the Ciao Bella apartments, the Italian owner moved to Phi Phi long time ago and built some fantastic wooden cottages with some great decor. after tsunami in 2004 destroyed nearly everything on the island, he started from scratch and again built his restaurant and apartments. if you on the island and like italian food, pay him a visit, he is great to talk to and restaurant got some amazing views as its situated just metres from the north beach on the island.

i found sunsets in thailand the most amazing i ever seen. the colours of the sky just before the sun sets are so vivid and full, never seen anything like that before. really enjoyed the sunsets when staying next to the sea, reflections in the water add to the magic.

lovethai · 25-09-2009, 07:40 AM

Spent only 2 days in Bkk and it was 40+ during day so didnt shoot too much there. Just some of my personal favourites here, i like Bkk skyline, you can see new scyscrapers and right next to them houses and shacks 100 years old made of wood and scrape metal.
Somehow managed to include myself on picture no. 3 aswell

Don't much look like a sex tourist, you need to put on about 40 years and 80 kilos, also treat yourself to a nice singha beer singlet, well, thats if you want to fit in with the in crowd

Digitalwolf · 10-10-2009, 10:28 AM

Truly awesome pics Lovethai. So much more wonderful than the rain I am getting in Tennessee at the moment.

You must post more. Hypno Toad demands it!

lovethai · 31-10-2009, 12:47 AM

last couple of shots from Bkk that i want to share. now that i upgraded to dslr im not very proud of these anymore, sharpness and colour accuracy is not really there. have to wait until march 2010 for my next visit though, want to spend 1-2 weeks up in the north aswell so might meet some of you guys residing there.
