    Somewhere at Kanchanaburi,
         		 Releasing one's 'krathong' is a surprisingly complex affair, with mud, current, and wind being factors in the riverside. Waist-deep in the muddy waters, this Chiang Mai local ensures the successful release of the lit 'krathongs' down the river by guiding it safely away from the banks to join the stream of others.: by fruhlein, Views[326]
         		 Loi Krathong is best enjoyed with the company of other people. Like this couple photographed, families, friends, and couples light their 'krathongs' together along the riverside.: by fruhlein, Views[269]
         		 Two women take a silent, reflective moment before releasing their 'krathongs' onto the Ping River. It is said that Loi Krathong originated as a ritual to pay respect to the water goddess. In modern times, the practice has evolved to making wishes before releasing the 'krathongs' and letting one's ill-will and negative feelings float away with the basket.: by fruhlein, Views[352]
         		 A boy cuts banana leaves that are then used to decorate and wrap the 'krathongs'. 'Krathongs' are usually made of banana tree trunk and decorated with candles and various flowers and plants. With the volume of tourists and locals during Loi Krathong, both young and old line the streets and riverbank with stalls that make and sell these floating baskets.: by fruhlein, Views[592]
     
    Loi Krathong is easily one of the most festive events of the year. Every November, visitors gather in Chiang Mai to release floating lanterns called 'krathongs' down the Ping River. Because of the nature of the festival, with participants sending their wishes and hopes with their 'krathongs' down the river, the festival is infused with a positive and buoyant atmosphere.: by fruhlein, Views[278]

         		 Scarred for life. A swollen and damaged foot on a baby elephant is the result of stepping into an animal trap. The tissue damage is so great, veterinarians are not certain they could intervene surgically to reduce the swelling. This elephant has a hard time walking and running, constantly dragging his larger than normal foot around. Fortunately, he was rescued by Lek Chailert and now resides at Elephant Animal Park were he receives plenty of love and care and a life free of abuse. : by carolinas, Views[624]
         		 A symbol of hope. Lek Chailert reached out to Thai monks in a effort to save the forests for the declining number of elephants in Thailand. In an effort to protect these few and precious lands, Buddhist monks place sacred flags on trees to help prevent deforestation and preserve elephant natural habitats. : by carolinas, Views[738]
         		 A lifetime of slavery and mistreatment for working elephants in Ayutthaya. An adult male stays in a tight space for hours and waiting to take tourists on a ride around town while his mahout takes a nap on his back. In the background an elephant struggling to stand, stays in a sitting position for more than an hour surrounded by soiled floors while the crowds turn a blind eye and enjoy the show. : by carolinas, Views[473]
         		 A 3 year old orphan elephant was rescued after being help captive and losing his mother after a few weeks of being born. He is smaller in size than a normal elephant his age and because of a life of trauma and abuse, he lacks simple skills as placing food in his mouth without constantly dropping it. Only a few weeks at Elephant Nature Park, he found an adoptive mother 'Nanny' that teaches him how to peal a banana and eat it for the first time. : by carolinas, Views[891]

         		 Koh Pling, one of the beaches more devastated by the tsunami: by magdalenabarro, Views[338]
         		 Where forests grow now was a barren landscape of slash and burn opium farmland as far as the eye only twenty years ago. Despite the relative peace now, local rumours of continued nightly traffic across the mountains remain. Tribesmen and gardners charged with replanting the Northern Thai-Myanmar border remain afraid to go outside at night. : by doitung, Views[822]
         		 Before 1988 this border with Myanmar lay completely under the control of drugs cartells based in the Burmese jungle. This view is taken through the bamboo bars of the Thai army´s border outpost. Since the Princess Mother began her initiatives in Thailand´s Doitung mountain community, drugs trafficking has greatly decreased and the border is quiet.: by doitung, Views[793]
         		 The Akha tribe´s grandparents often care for their grandchildren while parents work in local factories set up by Thailand´s Royal Family to combat a lack of legitimate alternatives to the opium production industry once rife in the area. Not one generation before, the Northern tribes had been completely in the grips of the poppy. Old faces bear the scars of this strenous past.: by doitung, Views[882]
