JANGWAT



Jangwat is the Thai word for ‘Province’

I’ve travelled extensively in Thailand.
Below are some of the scenes from my travels.

    An interesting and beautiful place. Beaches the world over bring out the same behavior in people. Can't be helped!

    Thanks Sandy; It's the only country I know where people go to the beach to sit in the shade. They even swim fully clothed.

    Lovely shots, I'd just been to Thailand last year, though only all the typical tourist spots, but reminded me of that wonderful time!

    Thanks Aayushi; I've been to the typical tourist spots too, but prefer to see more than just that.

    jangwat - don't think anyone else picked that, certainly not so far.
    A good friend went to Thailand a few years ago; loved it.

    Thanks Roger; It lives up to the slogans - 'Amazing Thailand' and 'Land of the Smile'.

    This is probably about as far as I'll get to seeing Thailand so I always love to see plenty of pictures. They're all beautiful in different ways but Jangwat Loei looks stunning.

    Thanks Sheila; Maybe one day...? And Loei really is.
