Saturday was the procession and cremation of Princess Galyani Vadhana in Bangkok. It was a truly spectacular event. This shot was taken before these military cadets joined the parade. They were making last minute adjustments and waiting in ranks.
Cha Am harbbour is a hive of activity every morning as the fishing boats return loaded with fish. The catch is unloaded by hand in baskets such as these which are then deposited on the floor and sorted into fish of different types and sizes. The people who do the sorting sit on their haunches for hours on end until all the boats are unloaded and sorted. After sorting the fish are taken away by the wholesalers.
There been some evil weather around recently - lots of thunderstorms and rain. I left some behind in Bangkok recently as I headed together with a friend for Cha Am harbour. This is the first shot I took when I got there showing these boats against the back drop of a storm raging in Bangkok and in the Gulf.
