... I thought to myself (in run-on sentence form), "If I need to change the title and take the fun out of the writing, never mind publishing conventionally, I think I'll just publish the book myself because it is after all, a book on CREATIVITY so I'm thinking MAYBE it can be DIFFERENT."

Kristi Tencarre : Thailand Photo Prompts

Adventure into Thailand Photo Writing Prompts

By Kristi Tencarre

Introduction

Thailand, known until 1939 as Siam, is a country rich in history and beauty. Adventure seekers flock to its shores and jungles to ride elephants, climb steep rock faces, and to lay on the pristine beaches. It has almost fully recovered from the devastating 2004 Tsunami.

As I was planning my trip two years after the Tsunami, I wondered if there was anything I could bring or anywhere I could volunteer, but the answer I got was simply to come and spend my money as that was the best help I could give the Thai people. It was a similar response from the Balinese: "Come, enjoy our land, spend your money, and tell your friends it is safe!"

Perhaps you have visited this emerald gem or seen the pictures taken during the travels of others. Perhaps you never really knew about this land until the Tsunami made it impossible not to know.

Mix your sense of sight with your feelings and create thoughts to share or to hide in your journal. Journey with me into Thailand!
