I especially like the combination of respect, compassion, enthusiasm and creativity the blog radiates. (loved your account of the King's visit to the Rama V memorial - "...what will he return to....?" )I'm a tea & coffee writer[Fresh Cup magazine, tea&coffeeAsia), living in Chiangmai (Suan Pailom, Changkhien) between the Doi Suthep waterfalls and Jet Yod. I use a D80/18-200, which I love, but you seem to get better detail and greater contrast (color pop) out of the '40. Maybe the lens? Judging from the LK images, you have a nice wide angle. Or maybe it's just skill....naw! You set your own exposure or let the "man" do it? On another totally different tack: I saw (elsewhere) your comment on the banh mi sandwich ("beachside banh mi bicycle cart "): "..if only these sandwiches would catch on in Thailand." Exactly! My partner and I are seriously fantasising opening a banh mi business in CM (cart franchise?). We've found a great baguette and great meats. The veggies here are brilliant. Why do you suppose the banh mi has not yet caught on here? Would it? Frank (tealover) Hi Nik,
