Great photos buddy. It is kind of shocking to visitors about the conditions that a vast majority of Thai people live in but there is a flipside to all of this as well. In my experience these people generally seemed happier than westerners that I know that have a great deal more material wealth than this. I know it is cliche but the whole "money can't buy you happiness" is very evident in these scenes.

I know Thai people that have almost nothing and live life much more richly than some of the folks that at least materialistically speaking, have everything. I suspect most of them are happier than I am, and that is nice to see.
