Now There's Something You Don't See Every Day (Unless you live in Thailand)

Hope you enjoy these pictures of things we see here in Thailand on a fairly regular basis. They aren't professional, and are sometimes taken quickly "on the fly," so to speak, but they are true representations of life and culture here. Not everything is explained, not because explanations aren't necessary, but because we often don't have any! But feel free to ask questions in the comment section, and I'll answer if I can.
