Snaps from Siam


A Chiang Rai street this time - "same same but different" as they say around here.

A quiet little monument marks the Golden Triangle, where the borders of Thailand, Burma and Laos meet.


The lovely deserted road following the Tha/Burmese border up into the mountains.



Burma lies beyond the bamboo fence - a reminder of more troubled times.



A glimpse of one of the many hill-tribe villages in these parts.


Brian playing soldiers on the border.


A few hundred people on their way to work in the fields. (The other thirty were on a motorcycle).

Who knew fishing could look so peaceful and appealing?



Natural hot springs in a national park in the mountains. Local people on a day out take eggs and boil them in the water for a picnic lunch.



And now for something completely different - an all-white temple near Chiang Rai.
