In another Special Edition your photographer takes you on a topical tour. This edition attempts to capture the mood, the sounds and smells, the light and darkness of an evening on the streets of a Thai city. The locale is Phitsanuloke, which is pronounced "pit-san-oo-lock", or so I believe, not that this city is all that different than any other we've visited to date. Our mode of transport was quite novel and exciting: three-wheeled bicycle taxis. These brave drivers must have been gravely disappointed in their enormous American fare, but they bravely pedaled for at least an hour on the streets of Phitsanuloke.
