Father Ray’s – Pattaya

Sawadee Khrap

Want to sponsor, volunteer, or  donate some cash, clothes, equipment, etc.  Check out Father Ray Foundation  here in Pattaya.Father-Ray-Flyer

I just donated my old computer to the Foundation and was given a tour of the facilities – great work – great place. 

I was especially impressed with the Redemptorist Job Placement for People with Disabilities program.Fathjer-Reys-reabilitation  Here’s a write up on it.

 

And of Note:::       At the Redemptorist Center you can also find economical, good, quiet and peaceful accommodations. It is open for seminars, instruction, retreats, or the individual. It specializes in rooms for the elderly and handicapped.

Jomtien Fishing Park

Sawadee Khrap

Went with Mike and Ted to the Jomtien Fishing Park – for a week,  Ted said he wanted to go fishing, so we went there today and then Capturehe didn’t want to fish – Uhhh – anyway got some shots of the other guys fishing – Mekong giant catfish – catch em and throw them back.

Easy to get to – just down the street from Golden Hanuman Statue on Thrappraya Rd   Soi 14.

_MG_9385_MG_9507_MG_9492 If you like fishing and want to catch some large fish – this is a no hassle version of trekking to the Mekong River area.   300 Baht and I think 50 Baht for a bucket of bait –

course you throw then back.

Grande Caribbean Resort Construction

_MG_9348I am documenting the construction of the Grande Caribbean Resort, just up the street from me – here’s a view from my balcony.  This morning I wanted to get some shots of the crane operators._MG_9331_MG_9308   What a job and getting to work is a bitch, at least for me it would be, having to climb up every morning would not be my cup of tea._MG_9335_MG_9315-2_MG_9346 But these guys climb up, look around and check out the equipment every day – sitting in that little box all day and having to climbing down for lunch and then back up afterward – I’d look for a ground job. Angry smile

CAN YOU IMAGINE this happening in the States – about 2 hr. after I shot the above photos – it started raining – these guys are still up there._MG_9354_MG_9352    Wouldn’t you like to be in their Union – great support for their safety.  Working here is hard, long hours and little benefits – and many times very, very dangerous.  Lightning last night and early morning – thank God not now.

More of Nut

Sawadee Khrap

Finally finished Nut’s initial images so I can include a few here:1_MG_8021-Edit1_MG_7813-Edit1_MG_7887-Edit-31_MG_7773-Edit   and working on more from Por’s latest (more erotic) shoot.  Hope to post them when approved.  Stay tuned.

 

Over the past few months I’ve posted many images of local models – these are great guys and fun to work with.

 

I’m sure if you come to Pattaya you will see many if not all of the guys at the local beaches  – say hello and that you saw their images on my blog – They would like it and I would too – good advertising and I am sure it would help in finding new models for future photo sessions.   Hope to be able to post some new models in the coming weeks.
