    There are [5] photos and [1] story about Thailand

    Muay Thai gyms are seen all over Thailand. Seen here in Sasiprapa Gym, Bangkok is Rungravee Sasiprapa getting ready for his Channel 7 title fight, which he later went on to win. This gym was located away from any kind of tourist location and any body here was here to train. The trainers and fighters eat, sleep and train here, to most of them is is their home. by: deanphotog Views[819] The North of Thailand is well known for its hill tribe community's. Although not all of the tribal people wear the traditional clothes, they still live very traditional. The entire family lives in the simple bamboo house. They live off the land and the farm animals. My guide named Noi, wearing the red vest, left the tribe at a young age to work in the city, his job is jungle trekking. After we had dinner with the family we sat with them before they went to bed. In the picture, Noi our guide, the mother, son in law, daughter and her two kids, who are sleeping in the background on the floor. Chaing Mai Mountains, Thailand by: deanphotog Views[1139] Taken the local bus is a perfect way to get off the beaten track. The tourist areas are a ongoing hustle and you end up going where everyone else goes. Traveling on a local bus has its challenges, In this case the ticket lady was more than happy to tell me when to get off. On route to Wat Bang Phra, Nakhon Pathom Thailand. Cost of fare, 18 Baht by: deanphotog Views[483] Markets along with food stalls are a very common sight in the entire country of Thailand. This image was taken on the island Koh Lanta, which has a very diverse cultural mix. Thai-Muslim, Thai-Chinese and Sea Gypsies all living together, this can make food shopping very interesting. You can never be short of a bite to eat, when the early markets are finished, there is always the option to go find the evening market. The light blub hanging over as the local boy makes his selection is powered by the electric power cables that run above the roadside. by: deanphotog Views[329] Hutyee, a Muslim man lives on the island Koh Lanta. Each morning he strategically casts out his fishing net and his catch will be dinner for that day. This is the normal way of life for the locals on the islands. Although, some fishermen sell there catch at the markets. by: deanphotog Views[716]
