Our photo tour is moving along nicely, although traffic here in Bangkok is terrible. After leaving Wat Pho we spend nearly two hours in traffic to cover the 3 kilometers back to our hotel! The streets are full of cars, trucks, motorbikes and the ubiquitous Thai Tuk Tuk. In the above photo, I panned at a 30th of a second and caught this image of a passing Tuk Tuk.
In the evening we had a delicious dinner at the Mango Tree restaurant and then headed over to the Pink Panther for thire nightly Mua Thia (kick boxing) show. This is where the newer, high ISO capable cameras really shine. With my old Canon Mark II I'm limited to ISO 1600 which is just barely enough speed. The action is fast an furious, and with ring side seats we have to be careful not to get hit by the boxers as they are up against the ropes!
