The beginning of a five-month journey with the landing in Bangkok
The city of striking contrasts
Buddhism teaches that the present life is determined by the previous one
In a unique mixture of smog and humidity vitamines come in handy
Thai fellow tailor - also a (rather) free artist
Thailand for the second time - rehabilitation after the return from the Himalayas
Finally on our own - a tropical apartment in paradise
Straight from the tree - however, more nutritius than tasty
Lying on a sandy beach under palm trees in company of sun rays and corals
Thailand for the third time - going North
One of countless representations of the great teacher of enlightment
Naga - the guardian of treasures, springs, rivers and lakes,
Extraction of silk thread by heating the silkworm cocoons
Manual stretching of the warp across the wooden loom
Inserting the silk weft among the warp is a domain of men in some places
Hand-carved "one piece artefact"
Night Market in Chiang Mai
Elephant traveling - an experience requiring time and balance
On the journey through the villages local people (for money) dance around the fire
The smile is, like all the best things in life - free of charge
The colors and patterns of the cloth women wear clearly state their class
Original homeland of poppy, the symbol of fertility, sleep, dreams and death
A representative of "Akha People" tribe
Descent into the valley on a bamboo raft
