Ahh, the ole' dental tourist in thailand eh? There must be thousands of you at any one time!
Nice set, brings back great memories. The last one is my favourite, a nice slice of life in a Thai market.

Super set, glorious colours which seem pleasantly subdued in a couple of the shots, particularly the first one. My favourite is the fish market where the 10-20mm is really showing its value.

Strange, Gareth, I thought her face a bit distrorted too, but I used the lens correction feature in LR3
Dental work is both cheap and good in Thailand: I needed root planing done (to get rid of some gum disease) which is both difficult to get done in the UK or here as it's only done by a few dentists. Not very pleasant though. It's about a 3rd as much as in the UK and a 5th as much as here, so it paid for my wife's holiday
The colours in the first shot David are down to some very nice light the afternoon we went to the temple. Shortly I will get around to putting some more on Flickr. The Sigma 10-20 is my favourite lens at the moment!

The LR3 lens correction will only correct distortion in the form of curved lines I believe. The lady's face in number 3 is just a result of being too close to the corner of the frame on the 10-20.

Didn't know that. I assumed it corrected the whole frame. I will watch out for it in future. The LR3 lens correction will only correct distortion in the form of curved lines I believe. The lady's face in number 3 is just a result of being too close to the corner of the frame on the 10-20.

It's actually all there, just very close to the top of the frame. I have a few others I will have a look at thought, to see if I gave it a bit more room in any of them. Otherwise I will try increasing the canvas size and putting in a bit more sky.Is the very top of the temple missing in the original?
Here's another shot from the market. Homemade sidecar stall attached to scooter....

I'm so envious. I'd love to shoot in Thailand. One day I might just think Phuket and go there.
Great shots!! post as many as you like AFAIC. Never get tired of them.
My only criticism of the shots is apart from the Longtail boat they all seem to have a slight red colour cast to them

Ah ... our favourite holiday destination, kids (now all grown up) love it there, as do we of course.
Not just good for dental work but any medical necessities, I had a hernia fixed there, brilliant work.
Nice set - fish shot the best (defo some distortion going on there though - try PTLens for 10-20 correction).
