I might have seen them if they were on one of the thailand blog sites paknam web group. I think I even posted a comment, hmmmmm can't remember what blog it was on ...
I want more!!! No seriously, I really started getting into photography a few months ago when I bought my first DSLR. I took it with me to Thailand in april and managed to take some really nice pictures, while still learning how to use my camera properly. I always like seeing other peoples pictures, especially if they're about places and subjects I happen to like, and even more so if those pictures happen to be about times past. |

I would also like to hear more, but most of all, if you have any pictures of the time you spent in Thailand back in the day, then it would be pretty awesome if you could share some of them. Tia!

Hello Itsme,

Well Itsme, I hate to say it, but it is either you Itsme or it is me!
Sad to say I am still cowering behind the dyslexia left behind by a stroke, so too slow writing to blog. So go to it brother, I am right behind you! Sort of! |
Are you sitting comfortably!!

I bet you already know my answer,
Keep the stories coming pls luung Itsme http://www.thailandqa.com/forum/imag...lies/smile.png |
I would like to hear more Stories from you, and surely I think it would be a good thing to write it down as a Blog, maybe here
http://www.thai-blogs.com/ as a Guest Writer. |
Yes the world has changed a lot on the last 45 years and I think not for the better in many ways. Yes I would like to here about the good old day's/
|
Thanks for taking the time to write down your experiences. I am sure a lot of people would be interested to hear tales of your life in Thailand before it changes so much.
|
Itsme, I'm not sure whether you remember my constant inquiries at the TCB about your soldier days. I was, and always have been, curious about the world affairs of those days.
Please give us more of your experiences. |
Hi, Itsme!
Looking forward to read your stories. And how about posting some of your photos back then? |
