Sawadee Khrap
Well we are in the rainy season now – what a beautiful day today – 
cool, clear and bright. Here is a panorama from my balcony looking towards Pattaya. The 3 month rainy season, till Oct, will bring in cooler days and especially nights, frequent rains to clear the air and green’ify (is that a word) the landscape. About to receive my new camera, a Canon G15, which will make it easier to capture spontaneous images of the area. Not as intrusive as my big 7D ( that will be used of special occasions and studio work). I’m really looking forward to shooting on the beach and in town – easy to carry and not as obvious so I can capture more natural images. Just had the car tuned up so I am ready to go exploring again.
As for the above image – it you look closely in the middle right of the 
image you can see the “Ripley’s Believe it or Not†balloon ride cabled above the show room on Pattaya 2nd Rd. I haven’t been up there yet, don’t really have a desire to float above the city.
So for the next 6 months, beautiful weather. If your planning a visit to Thailand – now is the time – less tourists, cooler nights , low season pricing, great cloud formations (and lightning shows if your into that) – excellent for photography — and then the 3 month busy tourist season starts.
The boys are all here, just check out “GayRomeo†for a date – most are now using the web from their iPad or smartphone, although the bars and clubs are still in full swing too. Come and enjoy.
Ciao
