I was reading an article earlier and a redtail catfish was caught in a canal in Florida. This got me thinking about Thailand and looking at pics I took while there.

Chao Phraya river north of Bangkok. These river people didn't have much but were always smiling and waving from their huts built on stilts as we passed by in the boat.


Look closely to the left in the trees is a German man fighting a giant Mekong catfish, the kid is patiently waiting to land it for him.


Hundreds of Buddhas lined the walls of this 1000+ year old temple where thousands of people came and worshipped them everyday.


Street food outside a market. The talapia are packed in salt to preserve them and then cooked whole over coals, the meat she is flipping is duck.


We traveled miles and miles of canals through palm tree farms and floating markets. Most of the vendors knew enough English to sell you their goods. This woman would say "banana, banana, good, very sweet for you"

Cool pics, where all have you been there? I'll be there in late July August, Ko Samui then Chiang Mai. Any recs you have would be appreciated!

Great pictures..Would like to go there some day..

Great photos.

Very nice pics. Great eye!

Nice CMC

Great pics. I shared them this evening at my Vietnam vets reunion with the guys. A lot of comments on how it looked like it was like Vietnam.

Very cool pics Vanilla Jesus, very cool. I think my next wife will be from Thailand, or Columbia..... OK maybe Russia....

We cut you off from that word. Did the same thing to Ramsey lol.

Just kidding brother. That word is the devil.

I stayed within a few hours of Bangkok in all directions, I didn't do much tourist stuff I stayed in the lakes and rivers fishing but my wife has been to Phuket and the Pei Pei islands and it seemed very very nice. Personally I wanted to see more Thai people than tourist so I went more off the tourist routes.

Does look like Vietnam. Cool pics..

very cool I hope they enjoyed them.

I can't speak for Russians but the Thai girls really love ping pong if that's something you enjoy.

Great pictures thanks for sharing Did you try any of the duck or tilapia from that woman?

not the talapia. I hadn't yet learned how much street food I needed to try and rather than just a tasting of each I had ate too much by then. Everywhere I ate duck there it was delicious.

That's a bunch of bull. I'll be 40 on Friday, that means I still have 10 years to reproduce and pay child support before I'm officially OAF and my stuff stops working. That's only 10 yrs, I better get busy.....

Happy early birthday Boss. Me and Ramsey will be out hunting axis does so we will miss the thread

P.S. 40 is the new OAF. I turn 30 am not sure what to do with myself lol.
