Thailand Trip 2016 - Pai - The Streets of Pai II
Since I have much time to spare, I took walks around the heart of Pai on foot.
It's near evening and I'm waiting for the night market at Pai Walking Street to be opened. Stalls were slowly rolling out on the streets. I started my stroll and passed-by Pai River. I noticed these skinny cows tied by the river. At the far end of the river, children were sliding down the algae covered rocks. It's a rare view since I'm living in the bustle city life in Singapore.
There's a construction going on at the start of the Pai street. One observation I made. Less metal, more wood and concrete. Definitely more strenuous labor needed and less safe.
Interesting capture of the Police Station. It seems so different from that of Singapore. I noticed a few times during my walk that a police patrol car was winding around the streets of Pai. It sort of made me felt safer and at ease as a tourist.
Lastly, I noticed a flea market in the middle of a field. It's roofed with thick canvas groundsheet material. Surprisingly, under the scorching sun, it didn't feel that hot.
The best thing of all, EVERYTHING IS AT 20 BAHT!!! It's so cheap! But, I didn't find anything that I needed. Oh well~
Thailand Trip 2016 - Pai - The Streets of Pai I
Loud music buzzed from the street ahead and I could hear the sound of gongs.
I finished my last bit of mushroom omelete breakfast, footed the bill, gave my compliments on the food and left Boomelicious Cafe. From a distance ahead, I could see a huge bright structure and a group of locals coming out from the temple onto the streets.
I followed behind them slowly, observing and wondering what's these all about. Is it some kind of celebrations pertaining to this small town? I continuing taking shots as usual to capture these moments! There's these guys with long poles to untangled the electric overhead cables from the tall structure.
The mood isn't as I thought it was. The music was kind of a chant and none of them were smiling. Beaten by the hot sun, I decided to take last few shots, I crept up closer and zoomed to the middle of the structure and I realized it's a... Coffin. I fired away, capped "Ocean" and chucked "her" into my bag. I said a little prayer and continue my stroll along the streets.
It's my first time seeing a funeral procession in a foreign country. It's much like the Chinese funerals in Singapore where we sometimes send farewells in huge floral vehicles with bands and walking a short distance along the roads to the crematorium. Thus, I get the photo right giving it a dramatic black and white look.
Enjoy folks =)
