Nothing stuning on the picture side I know, I just wanted to share the experience. We have finally found places in Thailand which are not invaded by package tours. It was a great opportunity to see once how an opium field looks like.

A few years ago, the drug war has started in Thailand, the prime minister wanted to get rid of it. Addicted people could get cured free of charge. However there are tribes and people for which it is more than simply a drug, it is a pain reliever sometimes in the tribes (where medicine is expensive and hard to get) or this is simply something coming from their customs. People here are affaid that the drug business will start again after the coup, we'll see...

Of course, if you take it on a regular basis like the guy who spent most of his time laying behind the stone in the background, it is not a custom...

alors comme ça nous sommes preque en direct, tu viens de passer sur TE... dis donc l'opium c est sérieux... cela change de tes photos habituelles, mais tu as raison d' essayer, très net sur les boutons et un beau "flou" sur le personnage
bonne continuation dans ton périple
amicalement
francine

How can a fragile flower like poppies produce such a powerful drug. Take it very carefully Yan! ;) Don't get seduced by that deep red... Love the inclusion of that purple guy. It wouldn't be yours without it, would it?

hello Yan
dis tu penses aux copains :D ? ...
photo un peu "pauvre" (simple bouton de pavot avec un paysan de dos) ... on s'ennui un peu.
çà pourrait être aussi chez mes grands parents (on a les mêmes) ... bref, assez peu de repaires ... un peu dommage.
par contre j'aime l'idée de détail + suggestion et le sujet ... y'avait probablement mieux à faire sur un tel sujet (si les cultivateurs t'ont accepté)
a+ et bonne balade ;)
nono
Decisive Moment (??) pour un bouton de pavot qui se fait dorer ? :)

Ah great shot Yan, you've been to a place that many people haven't, and perhaps some people would kill to be at. Good documentary shot.
