The Japanese saw the line was crucial to their occupation of South-East Asia. An estimated 16 000 allied prisoners-of-war and 100 000 Asians lost their lives during the construction of the railroad line.

Maybe not as spectacular as some of the Thailand moths but still quite attractive with forewings varying in colour from green to brown.

A little health problem since a month with my back, but I am better and I am back. Sorry I'm late, I'll respond to each of your kind comments🙏
This picture was taken in July 2020. I was lucky enough to be able to see the rice field from my window, so when the rice planters arrive, I have a front row seat.
These 2 young men are throwing the rice bunches into the rice field, and then the female planters come in right behind to plant them. This will be the next picture.
I wish you all a great week. Thanks for your visits and comments❤️
Literally waiting for hours for this one colorful dinner cruise boat with pink lights to make its appearance. Many other boats passed by, but I wanted the pink one for the contrast with the blue bridge :-)
GPS is the exact spot of the shot. It’s a small public walkway along the river with enough space to set up a tripod. Unfortunately, no MRT or BTS to this location. However the Chao Phraya Express Phra Athit stop is a 5-minute walk away. You can arrive by boat and then take a taxi (Grab) home.

Thaïlande - Une photo sans présence humaine. C’est rare. Cette fois ce sont les chiens qui sont les vedettes de cette scène qui reflète bien la quiétude du lieu. Des chiens errants comme on en croise dans toute l’Asie. Mais en Thaïlande, j’ai remarqué que ces animaux ne sont pas sous-alimentés. La raison ? Ils ont compris depuis longtemps que les bateaux de pêche qui rentrent au port, jettent par dessus bord des poissons impropres à la consommation des humains. Ces poissons ne sont pas perdus pour tout le monde.

Thailand - A photo without human presence. It's rare. This time it is the dogs who are the stars of this scene which reflects the tranquility of the place. Stray dogs such as we come across throughout Asia. But in Thailand, I noticed that these animals are not undernourished. The reason ? They have long understood that fishing boats returning to port throw fish unfit for human consumption overboard. These fish are not lost on everyone.
Shot on our recent Thailand Holiday (Nov 25) on a boat trip ultimately to 'James Bond' Island, so named as it appeared in the 1974 movie 'The Man with the Golden Gun'.
The boat trip was fantastic but the area is busy with many other visitors doing the same islands loop meaning the challenge was to try and get some good images (minus fellow tourists) rather than holiday snaps. I just think their traditional looking boats are photogenic - even though they are largely for the benefit of the touristicos. This one turned out almost abstract and is one of my favourites from a super day. It’s the simplicity of the composition and the way the boat is nicely set against the island that do it for me👍

Railay West a bit over a year ago. Waiting for the first departure to Ao Nang. It took an hour or two for enough people to fill a boat. In the meantime i enjoyed watching the rising sun fill more and more of the bay.
Check my Thailand album for more images from here, for example this here from Hat Phra Nang beach on the Southern side on this peninsula.
