Here's an amateur, whimsical travel video of Thailand combining pretty good video clips and more personal holiday photos. Focusing on the Pattaya and Bangkok regions of Thailand, it's actually a pretty fun tourism video...

Here's an extended scuba diving video taken at Bida Nok, near Phi Phi Island in Thailand which follows a leopard shark underwater. I just love watching leopard sharks, but unfortunately have never seen one in person. Time for a Thailand scuba diving vacation!

Here's a good look at some traditional Thai dancing in the Rose Garden, just outside Bangkok, Thailand. There are some women-only pieces, men-only pieces and an interesting ensemble set which incorporates stick work.

Here's an interesting and (for me) a controversial video of an elephant painting near Chiang Mai, Thailand. Of course, it's fascinating just how representational this painting is, although it's not clear how guided it was, beyond the trainer changing the paint colour. But I do wonder about the living conditions for this and other Thai elephants, all in order to put on a show for visiting tourists. After all, surely it's not in their nature to paint?

Why shop on-line when you can shop on-water? This video explores one of the many waterways in Bangkok, Thailand where you can shop for food, clothing and other Thai items you would expect to see in a normal market. Very interesting, but I wouldn't buy any electronics!
