Murder Most Fowl

[Billions 687]

I've just landed on Planet Pattaya after four daze in Bangkok,and have an amazing photo-reportage to share.Its going to take a while to prepare it,as I rattled off some 1700 pictures,and need to select the what is appropriate before resizing and presenting on here. They really are good!

 

People,animals,machetes,butchery,organs,severed heads,cruelty....plenty to go round.

 

I'm working on a new computer,and also with a new photo-editing programme,so it might take a while as I get used to the new layout and buttons,but I'll try and load up about fifty a day until the story is told.

 

The first bundle sometime tonight then!

Ha....the editing software is mastered!

 

Here's a few to start with....I'll start explaining whats what when I get stuck in tonight!

 

Klong Toey is a brutal food market down by the docks in Bangkok.

 

There's some spectacular sights down there.

Something not right either with local internet connection,my computer or photo upload system as I'm struggling to deliver images....

Why not just get us some images of that quality of nice Pattaya pussy and birds of the other kind.

I'm not into photography but I liked your last lot. I suppose it was the Pattaya street life content that appealed. We've met by the way. Well you took a photo that I saw myself iin! Small world.

On this fowl theme .........Can you get a picture this holiday of a duck smiling?

Dead or alive?

By the way, since this doesn't look like it's going to turn into a "racy" trip report, I am moving it to the Pictorial Trip Reports section.

Long way to travel to picture a dead hen or pig but I guess that there are lovers of all sorts on this site.

I'm having trouble uploading via my hotel Internet,so will prepare the rest and complete the job when I get back to the UK.

 

It's strange how people rejoice at seeing plates of steaming food but are confused when the images are from the next step backwards. The market activity in Klong Toey is dramatic in the extreme,and the range of images represents this.I spent two hours a day there,for five days,and have got to say it was a fantastic experience.Better that than sitting perched up at the Golden Bar drinking beer as the day opens up as many seemed to do.There's so much to see and do...... Being at the market didn't define my holiday in any way,but I'm so glad I went there,it was exhilarating and mind expanding.

 

The photos include many market workers,Thai shoppers,butchers,porters,traders,monks....some great insights into the mechanisms of another culture going about it's ways....it's not just pigs heads and frog parts. Wait and see.

 

I also took loads of photos of Nana Plaza and other Bangkok playgrounds,was going to present these once collated too,with commentary on the changes taking place. I didn't come to Thailand to photograph a couple of animals in a market.These too will have to wait til I have a reliable and stronger connection though...as will the Pattaya ones from the days ahead.

Looking forward to it.......... But I'm on my guard and you won't find getting a picture of me so easy this time my friend........

 

I'd put the chances at one in a billion.
