Isaan lifestyle.

Isaan (อีสาน) is the northeast region of Thailand.
It is located on the Khorat Plateau, bordered by the Mekong River (along the border with Laos) to the north and east, and by Cambodia to the south. To the west it is separated from Northern and Central Thailand by the Phetchabun mountain range.
Poorest part of Thailand, Isaan has its own culture and language (called overthere 'Lao') a mix of Thai and Laotian. People are highly welcoming and food (even if highly spicy) is a must.
Isaan, Buriram province, Thailand.

I like the feel of this image, patiently waiting for the rain to stop with the rain itself lashing down. The colours also look washed out. Nice work

Bonjour,
Une photo d'une grande poésie, dont les teintes 'passées' transmettent une ambiance hors-temps qui va bien avec ces deux personnes en arrêt, comme attendant que la pluie s'arrête. Deux détails m'ont particulièrement plu, une fois l'image appréhendée dans sa globalité: le parapluie, et le pied se détachant sur le fond sombre (il m'a fait sourire).

It looks like the rain has washed away the colors and I like that washed out look. I like the relaxed atmosphere, seems like people are enjoying the rain. The red umbrella is the highlight here.
Good job Nicolas

Hello Nicolas,

Joli effet, sur cette image vivante et joliment colorée.
Marie, qui revient

Hello Nicolas,

I love the old times feel of both your latest posts. This one is my favourite, but only just. I think it is either the umbrella or the "wonderfully bored" expression on the woman's face.

We will be in Isaan in the summer and hope not to see too many rainy days like that. Looking forward to more posts from Isaan!

Benny

Hi Nicolas,
Here the palette of colours is fantastic. It looks like a painting... the rain falling so heavily but not provoking any rush, by the contrary... there is a kind of sleepy mood in it that I find really beautiful.
It is a pleasure to go through your gallery...
