What's the make of that camera and lens? I gotta have the same equipment... Peter S. 14:36, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wonderful picture. Wow! I'll have to do something for Ottawa. --72.57.8.215 02:11, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Real photo?

Um, hello? You realise this is a CG image, right? Why is this described on the front page and in the Bangkok article as if it were a real photo? "taken from the corner of Thanon Silom"? give me a break. Look at the cars. Do actual cars look like that? 131.111.8.99 03:40, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not to mention, cars (much less freeways or any of the other buildings we take for granted in the Westernized worlds) are actually kind of an unusual sight in Southeast Asia. I'm not sure about now, because it's literally been more than thirty years and we haven't gone back, but my dad said that when he was growing up in Saigon, everyone was so poor that they had to ride motorcycles and bikes and buses, but no cars. It was so bad, they had to share with their neighbors and they all basically became babysitters and cooks for each other and their children, but that's another thing. Limos were too expensive. They used those oldie cars — like the ones that you see as an image typical of America today, credit to the fifties and sixties — for weddings. But this is not something you'd see in Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, or Japan.
