Thailand ODD Photos Series (Part 6: Thai People Sleep ANYWHERE!)
In Koh Samui I came up over a hill at a resort that sprawled across a lot of land and there was this Thai worker sleeping on the street! Actually, I wasn’t fast enough with the camera and there are 3 or 4 people to the side of me that were sleeping there but had stood up too quickly!
This Dhamma talk at Buddhist Temple, Suan Mokkh in Chaiya was just a little bit boring. They play Buddhadassa’s old dhamma talks over a loud speaker and it’s quite a relaxing activity.
Don’t know how this got in there – this kid is sleeping – but only his mind is asleep, body fully awake. This was at an English Camp a while back. I forget what they were doing.
Your Thai employees WILL be sleeping on the job – and it’s OK. Mai pen rai. Not a big deal. This was a pizza place I liked a lot.

Shama Kern has some AWESOME photos of Thai people sleeping strange places. Don’t miss the two guys on a motorbike sleeping. The guy on left is falling off the thing – hilarious. Thai People Sleep Anywhere.

cool series, Vern. last time i was in BKK i noticed a lot of people sleeping in parks, on the grass. some had pillows and blankets too, obviously having spent quite some time in the park. a few people were drying their laundry in the sun on the concrete sidewalk. if i couldn’t find any work i’d be doing the same thing myself.
Hi MJ, I’ve considered what it would be like to be homeless. hmmm… I don’t want to be there, but, having lived in Thailand on very little – I think I’d survive and be happy at the same time. I’d choose Hawaii to be homeless in though! Thanks for all the comments lately! Vern
Vern, just today i was going through my vast archive of photos (totaling over 25,000) doing research for a new blog article, when i ran across those photos i took of the homeless people on the grass, drying clothes, etc. they are making do with what they have.
as for Hawaii, i’ve never been there but i used to get a lot of airplay in Kauai back in the 90s. i’m sure with the cost of living that if i were there, i probably would start out homeless!
