Puppets in Thailand

Puppets in general actually kind of scare me. They're a little too human-like. But the ones in Thailand, in the town that borders Burma, there were some beautifully ornate puppets which I wouldn't put in my house, but makes for a beautiful picture :)

Cool monk in Thailand

I love the too cool for school attitude of this monk. He had such a swagger to his walk, he was definitely the cool kid in class.

Koh Tao Nightlife

Welcome to Koh Tao Thailand! A very common scene on the beaches of the islands in southern Thailand, there are fire shows at just about every bar along the beach.

Appreciation

Today's photo of the day is one of my favourites from last year.

It was taken on the bridge that separates Thailand from Myanmar (Burma).
The mother was begging for money while he was rummaging in the trash for things to eat.
For me, it was his innocent naivety in not knowing a different life that struck me the most. While the mother was playing up her poverty, he was taking the day as it came, just like any other day. Because he wasn't "poor", this was normal.
