Map of Southern Thailand |
|
Spent three weeks in Southern Thailand doing a field studies and research module while I was still an undergrad. That was before the region became restive. It is certainly a meaningful and unforgettable trip... how time flies.
This Tabblo briefly documents my experience there... Those were the days when I was still using a compact film camera and before I developed an interest in photography. Had to scan the photos in before I could upload them.
Am dedicating this Tabblo to Siang Hwee, a group mate and personal friend, who lost his battle with brain cancer in August 2006. Thanks for the wonderful memories mate, and you're greatly missed. |
