Scenes in Thailand

In this photo stream I show pictures of Thailand most unknown corners. One of my favorites was a stay in a Hmong village and it will keep for me as an unforgettable memory.

Some places are wrong places for visitors with good certain which I will not support the very bad tourist business from some reckless and unscrupulous thai people who use the innocent appearance for their inhuman income for instance such as for instance the show of the Karen group's Padaung (Longneck people in Northern Thailand near Mae Hong Song, Thai people pay 20 Baht and foreign people 300 Baht !!! for photograph). This Padaung hill tribes are usually living in Burma and kept illegal in Thailand by this sort of businessmen like animals in the zoo. The top of the crime is using and mistreating young kids who are ordered to wear the torture rings for the tourist attraction and filling the pockets of this dirty businessmen.

I always try to discover not common places in not common areas of Thailand or not common quarters of Bangkok.

I live in Bangkok since 1981 and keep a nice and beautiful memoriy I had in the last nearly 30 years.

The full name of the metropole of Thailand is Krungthep Mahanakhon Amonrattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphop Noppharatratchathani Burirom-udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amonphiman Awatansathit Sakkathattiya Witsanu Kamprasit (กรุงเทพมหานคร อมรรัตนโกสินทร์ มหินทรายุธยามหาดิลกภพ นพรัตน์ราชธานี บุรีรมย์อุดมราชนิเวศน์มหาสถาน อมรพิมานอวตารสถิต สักกะทัตติยะวิษณุกรรมประสิทธิ์) and is my home town for more than 26 years.
Thai people never say Bangkok due the thai name of Bangkok in short way is called Krung Thep, what means the City of the Angels.
I've often been asked why I can stay in such a strenuous and stressful city for such a long time. The answer is simple because I supply my thai family, my thai wife and my thai kids who are living in Bangkok.

I am always grateful for tips and advises from thai or foreign travelers who like to travel in the same way as I like to do.
