Thailand

Think Thailand and you think of pristine blue water lapping at long curves of beaches, coral, reefs teeming with rainbow colored fish; purple orchids and white lotus; rubies, emeralds and sapphires; beautiful women with sky smiles; saffron robed monks with walkmans and cell phones, temple spires reaching up to touch the heavens; golden Buddha in serene response, swaying elephants. All frozen together in a time wrap.
