This is a trip to Thailand's Phu Kradeung - "Cowbell mountain" - a protected wildlife preserve on a green mesa - a flat topped mountain of waterfalls, deep forests and savannas that is only partially open to the public - it is also a very holy place to the Thais. shot on the trusty xacti HD and edited in iMovie.
Yui and I were walking in Hua Hin when she heard the Thai accents of the fisherpeople and recognized them as from her part of Thailand - Trat - on the other side of the Gulf - and it turns out they knew her family. It is always a small world in Thailand. The fisherpeople had to leave Trat because of overfishing and perhaps soon they will have to leave Hua Hin as well.

What I learned at the Massa Elephant camp in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The baby at the end is six months old.
A visit with Yui to a beautiful area of Thailand just south of Hua Hin on the Gulf of Siam. The cave on the island was a favorite of King Rama V.
A quick weekend tour of Hong Kong with Yui - shot on a Sanyo Xacti HD1. Music is temporary, to soon be replaced with an original score. Hong Kong is worth the trip and the expense - it is one of the easiest citys to navagate for a foreigner.
Wat Rong Khun - an eclectic Buddhist temple near Chiang Rai that is the creation of Chalermchai Kositpipat, Thailand's Gaudi. It is just part of a complex of buildings the artist designed that he estimates will take 90 years to complete.
From a frozen Lake Erie to a sweltering Bangkok with some amazing views of Alaska in between. When I left Cleveland Wednesday it had been zero and then on Friday in Thailand it was 100 - a visual contrast. Music by Ivy.
The best pineapple in the world and a floating lunch in the Loei province of North central Thailand. The raft-restuarant is run by the wives of fisherman who came up with the idea and received a "micro-loan" to set up the business. The food was outstanding and so was the view.
Hua Hin is a beach resort on the Gulf of Thailand that is much favored by the Thai royalty. Yui and I explore The beach with dogs everywhere and go to nearby palace of King Rama V.
