My Horoscope
I was born at 05.30am in Melbourne, Australia on the 19th of March 1962.
My Dear Self in the south of Thailand doing some Handreading and Astrology at a Temple.
This Temple would be one of the oldest in Thailand at Nakhon Sri Thammarart.
This Monk took a shine to me and invited me to his temple in the next province.
This photo was taken in Buri Ram Province in the North East of Thailand that actually was part of the Khmer empire originally. There is this beautiful old Hindu temple built up on a plateau. It pre-dates Buddhism and it shows this whole area was actually Hindu originally.
I was there with my good friend Dr Ekasak who is a lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Khon Khaen in North East Thailand.
This shows the magnificent majestic temple at its best and how it would of been the centre of the whole area originally.
The Thai's actually found this temple overgrown in the jungle and had to cut away all the jungle and clean it up again like new. They did a great job of it!
The workmanship and stonemasonary work is just fantastic. You feel a sense of absolute awe walking around inside this temple.
Unlike Cambodia stealing images from temples is rare in Thailand. The Thai's have a deep respect for their culture and tradition.
When the Sun goes down and rises it lines up with these doors through the temple. This temple is said to align with Ankor Wat in Cambodia perfectly.
Who's that fat bastard blocking out the Sun?
Driving to the temple we were caught up in this accident when these two guys hit each other right in front of us.
We were the only car around as we were out in the sticks, so we were the ambulance. Lucky we were driving a pick-up.
We might have had a bit of explaining to do if the Police had of stopped us. They might of thought we were hitmen on our way out into the boondocks to dump a couple of bodies. We dropped these two off at the Hospital where the staff were actually waiting for us. Somebody had phoned ahead.
Dr Ek loved a game of Tennis but didn't know I was a Tennis fanatic as a teenager and a mean player in my day. Poor old Ek couldn't believe it as I hadn't played for years but still absolutely flogged him. I hate lose at anything and make John McEnroe look like a well behaved private school prefect when it comes to on court tantrums.
