Where there’s a festival there’s a character, where there’s a character there’s a festival, that seems to be the way in Thailand. Festivals, meets, sporting occasions and shows more than occasionally throw up a colorful character or two.

The first two photos were taken at the Pattaya Marathon, these guys get around though, I saw them on TV cheering Thailand on at a South-east Asian sporting event.


The colourful character on the wacky looking bike was at the Pattaya Bike Week.

Music to the ears !, the violinist was also at the Pattaya Bike Week.

These guys [above] were making a song and dance at the 2009 Pattaya Marathon.

Should that not be a “pipe of peace” in his hand, another from the Pattaya Bike Week.

Captain Jack Sparrow, I reckon this guy [see photo above] looks more Jack Sparrow the Johnny Depp does. And he certainly gets around, he’s a regular at the Pattaya Floating Market, on this occasion he was at the Pattaya Bike Week though.

I don’t know what to make of this one [photo above], he certainly has an African tribal look, and he looks like he could be a shaman, any ideas ??.
