This is a 6-7 hour commute I do every month. I took the pics whilst on the commute bus. these are only from the 4 hours which are on bitumen - I will take some on the dirt track when I do the trip again on monday.

Well I was going to post some photos but when I just arrived home I found that most of them are corrupt

**bustak** · 31-05-2007, 10:48 PM

wow baldrick, this reminds me a of Guilin, nice stuff.

You said you go there once a month, do you teach English? When I was in China they would periodically send the western teachers out to a rural area & teach the kiddies "Hello, my name is _________, how are you doing? I'm fine thank you."

You make my heartache for China, when I left there I was far from ready to go home.

When I talk about coming to Thailand people are surprised, not that I'm going to live in Asia, but I'm not going back to China.

Thanks for sharing these photos.

I am there as part of expat team to construct and commission a mine - it is very remote , and definitely not part of any tourist circuit - the mountains where the mine is are quite spectacular - I will post a few more photos when I am back at work next week - I have a few on my work computer.

Thanks to Nooners for starting this thread....at last after 12000 posts he contributes a real gem...

and Balders: excellent pics...looking forward to more...

Memers: when I worked for BritOz they only had Toyota Lancruisers...oh and that one you posted looked like it was ona strange angle!..

Great thread and great pics all round.

It looks very poor where you are Rick.

**cimboc** · 01-06-2007, 03:28 PM

**man with no head** · 01-06-2007, 10:51 PM

Here's part of my commute (the photos that weren't corrupted on the memory card):

**buad hai** · 02-06-2007, 04:10 PM

^It looks so clean and neat....

**sabang** · 02-06-2007, 04:51 PM

Certainly not Thailand!

**NickA** · 02-06-2007, 04:54 PM

I think this picture sums up everything that Thailand isn't.
