Kata Noi beach in Phuket

Red Sun Falling

We liked this beach. Not a ton of tourists, some random surfers, and decent enough waves to bodysurf. It was also right around the corner from our little hotel. There was a pretty stiff undertow though, which made me think twice about swimming… not all cool. I thought this shot turned out pretty well considering […]

sunset over the mekong

Evening in Kratie

Sunset over the Mekong river. Just shot this about 10 minutes ago, off of my hotel balcony in Kratie. Back in 2006 when I was traveling through Kracheh, I actually took a photo from this exact spot (same river, same hotel, same balcony), and posted it to Flickr. It was one of my earliest photos, […]

Paraglider off the Phuket coast

Paraglider off the coast of Phuket

I wish I could say that was me…..   While we were scooting around Phuket on a rented Honda Click, we stopped at this lookout point to snap some pics. This guy was out, drifting gently off the coast. At times he struggled, but later I saw him hundreds of feet up, sailing over the […]

Phi phi island in Phuket

Paradise

The Andaman sea is paradise. They filmed The Beach right around the corner from here. Just look at that water. ‘Nuff said. Please feel free to share my images—they are meant to be seen!

Hippies in Phuket

Hippies in Phuket

Maybe it’s possible to find good, old-fashioned hippies just about anywhere—but I was slightly surprised to find a contingent in Phuket. Sure, one might expect an encounter with quantities of beach bums, or a stray loafer with dreads and a surfboard, but I thought the hippie lifestyle went out of vogue years ago. This particular […]

ferry across the sesan river

Rural Ferry, Cambodia Style

The easiest way to get across the river. 50 cents gets you and your motorcycle across. Just hope that no-one freaks out and causes the boat to capsize… that happens too. Ratanakiri, Cambodia. Please feel free to share my images—they are meant to be seen! Use them for your non-profit, on your blog, for fun […]

panorama from phuket lookout

Looking off towards India

About 15 minutes past our hotel in Phuket, up a winding road, was this cool lookout point. Somebody built a pavilion up there, and you could sit and soak up the views in the shade. And you could talk to the two Thai rasta hippies who live there and sell homemade bracelets for a living. […]

the clear blue water at phi phi island

Phuket!

The “Amazing Thailand” advertising slogan from the 90’s really does apply to Phuket. Incredible beaches, lush mountains overlooking crystal clear water, granite karsts combined with amazing food to exceed our holiday demands. We feasted on various curries and pad thai and drank our faces off with spiced Thai iced tea while exploring the beaches, looking […]
