Fisherman's family

I was riding motorcycle on a dirt road in the campaign near Nong Khai. I stopped on a bridge and i noticed that some people were fishing. They waved at me. I took it as an invitation, so i found the way to get there to see the catch of the day.
 

Amazingly, all the family live on this boat.

 They  asked me to visit  the house (boat)

Gutter Man

The gutter man

In Thailand, there is a big hardware stores as big as our Home Depot or Home Hardware. Curiously they don't have gutter and rain control system in stock.
So we had to call the gutter man in Nong Khai who is a family owned and operated rain control systems design and installation company. I was pretty amazed to see how they work and how they fold all the pieces of metal to deliver the product. Everything is hand made.

See by yourself...

Flying over Thailand - january 22 2010

This was in january 2010. I went to visit a friend from USA in Bangkok. He introduced me to Ed which is a
pilot. He offered me to go with him to flight in Cambodia over the killing fields.

 The pilot had begun to inflate  the envelope by opening the burner

 The pilot checked the weather three times before departure.

 They are gone

 During most of the flight, the weather was favourable, but toward the end of the flight the pilot was monitoring some unfavourable weather conditions east of his flight path.
After leaving the outskirts of the temple, the pilot attempted to land several times in different fields but chose to overshoot because of the wind speed and unfavourable ground conditions or obstacles.
Which was only a test flight supposed to land and return, finally last 5 hours.

This was near Pattaya,january 22th 2010.
