July 29th flood: Prasawithi Road | Mae Sot, Thailand
Olympus OM-2N | Kodak Tri-x
On July 29th, one of Mae Sot's overflowing reservoirs was released after six days of heavy rain. Water poured through the center of town, turning one of the major roads (Prasawithi) into a rushing river. Power was lost in some areas for half a day, while running water was lost for nearly 3 days in some parts of town.
Meanwhile, the River Moei--the border between Thailand and Myanmar--also overflowed and flooded the Thai side's border market and caused severe damages on the Myanmar side, slightly downhill of the Thai side. Many people in Myawaddy and further into Myanmar's Karen State are still homeless. Food and water sources have been destroyed or contaminated.
If you would like help residents of Karen State, you can donate to the Emergency Assistance and Relief Team, comprised of Backpack Health Workers' Team, Karen Women's Organization, and the renowned Mae Tao Clinic. Please go to this link for information on bank transfers and funding distribution.

Temple touring | Siem Reap
Young girl drawing in the sand at Banteay Srei, asking for candy. Yes, she knew how to ask in Chinese. No, I don't know if she was drawing because she was bored while begging, or thought that people would be inclined to give her candy because she was drawing. Would have been a nice time to have a guide.
Worth getting up early for a drive out of town to visit Banteay Srei. Maybe this one also gets busier later in the day, but even at the relatively late hour of...7:30, maybe? there were only about 6-8 other tourists.

Temple touring | Siem Reap
The classic Tomb Raider temple, Ta Prohm.

Pra Rup temple is one of the "alternate" sunset-viewing temples. Still extremely busy, and it turns on the sunset over the trees is pretty much nothing to look at...it's the colors on the temple itself that are way more beautiful.

Uh, some old temple. This the problem with seeing 27 temples in one day (or 6? I lost count), combined with a lack of "overview" shots. Can't remember what all these details are.

Only a couple of these are actually Angkor Wat, but all from the main Angkor region.

These costumed children were paid to take photos with tourists at Bayon temple. It's a pretty ridiculous scene, especially how instantly the kids' expressions & posture changes between photos.
Bayon temple.
Blind musician.
