Travels in Thailand
    #6574740 -

A net-fishing Fleet at Koh Samui near Ban Mae Nam.



A NE east Thailand golden guardian.


A bad tempered baboon


A costumed visitor from the past haunts the temples of Ta Proehm


and finally

A mini version Angkor Wat created by my friend, Padaung, the chief architect for the restoration of the temples.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

Here is an image of the sculptor himself, Mr. Padaung, with a large poster of him and the King of Cambodia giving him an award for his work at Angkor.

There are about five miniature cities at his home. He is very poor and the friggin white farang architects get all the monies for the work he does.

Here he is given this award by the King himself and he is proud of his work. I have also been blessed to know him and to see other treasure3s not available for others to see. he has shared with me over the years, the pleasure of viewing his personal photographs.

Here are some of him and his work.

I must point out that all of the numbered bricks and slabs at the Angkor compound, he is the only one who knows where they go back into the temples.

A painting of Mr. Padaung as a young man, He is 74 right now.


An image of him and his art degree


I took this image in 2003 of him and his poster of the award from the King of Cambodia


And here is one from last September by Dr. William Harrison.



And this image is from 2005 of him sitting in front of his miniature Angkor Wat display in his back yard of his home.




Later I will find a repaired section of the Angkor temple so you can see the difference from before and after they replaced the bricks and slabs and rebuilt the right front wall of the moat with the stairs to the moats edge. I will show the collapsed brick and its curved formation and then the repair of it years later

Cool! I am glad that everyone gets to see this beautiful exotic habitat of where I get shroomies at in Cambodia.

Here is another taken three years later in 2006 of Mr. Padaung.


This next image is of Angkor and surrounding area.

It was taken at over 200 feet altitude from a Hot Air Balloon.

In the top center of the image you can see Angkor Wat


This one taken as the balloon crept closer to the ancient temples built between 800 A.d. and 1200a.d. During this period, the temples belonged to the Hindi speaking peoples who worshiped Shiva. By the 12th century, the Hindu Gods were not helping the people so they became Theravada Buddhists.

the green cloth on the walkway tot he temple in this image below represents some of the repaired walkway bricks replaced with original ones and then filled in with similar concrete reshaped. Between 1989 and 2006, 90 percent of the walkway has been fully restored and one library is almost completely rebuild by replacing the fallen slabs back to their original places.

All of the temples in the district and Angko0r Wat slabs which ahd fallen over the years are all reused and numbered by Mr. Padaung as to where they belong. As noted above, he is the sole mastermind of where the fallen chunks go.



Another image of Angkor from the first gate on the walkway to the temple



Here is a foto of Angkor Bayon, Many faces of Buddha rest here reaching towards the sky.


And one of the modern forms of local transportation for family workers in the region.

There is more if one wishes to see more.

Was in thailand not so long ago... some cool places and people.
Miss the food sooo much. Its kinda sad to think that in about ten
years or so most places like Koh Samui will be in the brouchers along
with cheesy Spanish resorts.

Hoping to visit Cambodia and Vietnam in the future!

Unfortunately, American forces in Cambodia came through Angkor Thom's gates and blasted the Buddhas with personal fire and shattered and shot up numerous Buddha head imageson the south Gate of the city.

national Geographic published a good issue showingthe damage the American Gi's did.

It was a result of psychological hatred for being ten thousand miles from home, in infested malaria riddled jungles.

See if I can find that image. It is not my photo.





You can see some of the missing heads and some of the bullet holes in these as you walk by them.

Here are two images from Angkor Bayon. Also in the same compound, is Angkor Thom.



And here is a great tree.. Look at the size of its roots and how they grew around the temple corridor.

Unifloo, Koh Samui has fallen ten years ago. qwhen I first came there in the mid 1980s, there was only a dirt road to Chewang. no Chewang road to big buddha.

There was no airport. At one time there came almost 18 planes aday and now Samui has an International airport.

3,000,000 million coconuts a month were shipped to Bangkok for Copra production.

now about 1.25 million a month.

The Gulf of Thailand is stripped of all of its minerals.

Jet skis are ruining the waters.

While there are still some $8.00 a nuight bungalows on Samui. Everyone goes to Koh Phanghan and Koh Tao or Koh Fan.

Cambodia is much cheaper and the farther away form civilization you go, the cheaper everything is.

Coke in Cambodia is very cheap as you can see but the sale here in this image between Phophet and Psisyphon.



and if you get hungry, window service at the local coke station. Right up to me in the window with these tasty morsels of joyous delight.

Yeah, its shame. Even though I went to the more remote islands like
Koh Chang, I cant say that I've experienced what it was twenty or
so years ago. I contemplated staying a night Koh Samui but the descent in to the airport reminded me so much of Alicante or somwhere with shiny high rise apartement block that I didnt bother.

Oh and the cuisine, pig intestines was as exotic as I got....

Sorry no pics :smile:

Yeah bro I was in Koh Samui just over a year ago. It's really nice but touristy as hell these days. I have a fond memory of buying dope off someone while we were both on moving motorbikes.
Have you been to Vietnam yet? I went there last July and it was one of the most amazing places I've ever been to. It's not touristy at all in alot of parts and there are hardly any americans (No disrespect but they do have a habit of making places tacky on their mass travels).
