    Roaming in the gloaming

    Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 05/11/2020

    » It was pouring like crazy. I was lucky to find refuge in a noodle shop before getting soaked. It had rained twice since the morning. So far, including the days when I was on Koh Phayam, I never got a chance to shoot -- or even see -- a clear blue sky.

    Nakhon Si Thammarat is a place for all seasons

    Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 11/10/2012

    » Mention Nakhon Si Thammarat and the image of the province's most revered Phra Borommathat pagoda would pop up in the mind of many Thais. That, perhaps, is followed by the famous sat duen sip ceremony, the grand event in which locals gather to make merit for their deceased relatives; nang talung shadow puppets; manorah folk performance and many more.
