Thailand Photos

When I went to Thailand in 1989, I had the vague idea that I wanted to write about refugees. Owing primarily to this single-minded stupidity (and owing partly to the fact that my camera broke), I didn't take very many photos. And of the ones I did take, most could charitably be described as mediocre.

The photos below don't really present a portrait of Thailand; instead, they present a portrait of mediocrity, indifference, and a grand failure to sieze a marvelous opportunity.
