Samblaos. Writers on Thailand write the name for a bicycle taxi (สามล้อไทย) as "samlor," but what my ears always heard was "samblao."

Yeah, the native Thai speakers i know drop "r"s all over the floor. i confuse the heck out of them when i pronounce them

Was that shot in Ubon ?

Chai, Frank. It was in Ubon in 1964. Upcountry the "R"s change to "L"s. "Farang", "foreigner" in Bangkok (originally French foreigner), comes out as "falang" in Ubon. Once when I used some of my limited upcountry Thai on a Bangkok taxi driver he said: "You speak hillbilly Thai."

In a world of her own. I shot this 55 years ago. I hope this beautiful kid survived the communist takeover ten years later.

Eric Myrvaagnes · « **Reply #78 on:** December 16, 2020, 10:46:41 pm »

I hope so, too. That is a fine portrait.

RSL · « **Reply #79 on:** December 17, 2020, 08:04:19 am »

That was no formal portrait, Eric. I stopped my jeep when I saw the kid playing, and shot it with my Canon 7 while sitting in the jeep. It was a split-second thing. I had to clean it up a bit in Camera Raw. Mea culpa, I cropped a bit. But it's really street.
