My mate's 8 year old done it in 2 days without any help. Just saying.
Looks like a handy contraption for scratching the back of your balls.
Nice digs mate.
Thanks Diggler, river swimming is f'ing epic.
Is there anything a bit dodgy in there?
Whoa...with those legs she could crack walnuts between her knees.
R. Crumb would have loved her.
Memorial at Hellfire Pass Kanchanaburi. Second time I have been here and it is still immensely moving. Make sure you hike all the way to the end; it is about 2km eachway but it is well worth it. I like to do it to get a sense of what the conditions were like for those poor boys. Even just walking it at midday is stifling, so I can't imagine what hard labour on pretty much no food must have been like. An awful act of cruelty and humanity at its worst!
Lest we forget!
^I have been to a WW2 memorial in Thailand but I don't think it was this.
There's more than one.
I agree with you, it's a moving memorial and walking the trail is an excellent if somewhat sobering experience. If you have a driver, you only need to walk one way and have him meet you at the other end. Or drop you first and then you walk back.
I guess the laughing Japanese tourists weren't there joyfully beaming into their cameras then.
I forgot the last chapter of my short photo essay on local Isaan rural architecture. Here are a couple of faded dreams:
Whoever thought of building a house with those decorative red bricks? Maybe someone who had a large surplus of red bricks. I don't know the history, whether it was ever occupied or not, even whether or not it was ever finished.
Finally, a house that has never been completed. I wondered aloud who would build a house without enough money to finish it, it seems a waste of money. The gf pointed out that I had never been that poor to have no money at all, she suggested that some people would rather spend any spare cash to start a house than save it and end up spending it on non-essentials anyway. Whatever the reason, this house was partly built and then forgotten. Quite possibly the land is mortgaged to the bank and the repayments are falling behind, there are many plots around here like that. Consumer debt is disproportionately huge in Thailand generally and a particular problem in rural areas where, as the gf says, sometimes you have no money when money is the only thing that can be used.
