  • 26 APRIL 2014 - CHAING SAEN, CHIANG RAI, THAILAND: A Lao river boat comes down the Mekong River in the Golden Triangle at sunrise. This is where Thailand, Myanmar (Burma) and Laos meet on the Mekong River. Chinese businesses play an increasingly important role in the Chiang Rai economy. Consumer goods made in China are shipped to Thailand while agricultural products made in Thailand are shipped to China. Large Chinese cargo boats ply the Mekong River as far south as Chiang Saen in the dry season and Chiang Khong when river levels go up in the rainy season.      PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 24 AUGUST 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A woman selling tiger plush toys uses her mobile phone in Bangkok. Thailand entered a “technical” recession this month after the economy shrank by 0.3% in the second quarter of the year. The 0.3% contraction in gross domestic product between April and June followed a previous fall of 1.7% during the first quarter of 2013. The contraction is being blamed on a drop in demand for exports, a drop in domestic demand and a loss of consumer confidence. At the same time, the value of the Thai Baht against the US Dollar has dropped significantly, from a high of about 28Baht to $1 in April to 32THB to 1USD in August.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 20 APRIL 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:   A broken down, inoperable old Fiat 500 in Talat Noi (Talat means Market, Noi means Small. Literally Small Market). The Talat Noi neighborhood in Bangkok started as a blacksmith's quarter. As cars and buses replaced horse and buggy, the blacksmiths became mechanics and now the area is lined with car mechanics' shops. It is one the last neighborhoods in Bangkok that still has some original shophouses and pre World War II architecture. It is also home to a  Teo Chew Chinese emigrant community.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 12 APRIL 2012 - HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM:  A dried shrimp and seafood vendor in Binh Tay Market. Binh Tay market is the largest market in Ho Chi Minh City and is the central market of Cholon. Cholon is the Chinese-influenced section of Ho Chi Minh City (former Saigon). It is the largest "Chinatown" in Vietnam. Cholon consists of the western half of District 5 as well as several adjoining neighborhoods in District 6. The Vietnamese name Cholon literally means "big" (lon) "market" (cho). Incorporated in 1879 as a city 11 km from central Saigon. By the 1930s, it had expanded to the city limit of Saigon. On April 27, 1931, French colonial authorities merged the two cities to form Saigon-Cholon. In 1956, "Cholon" was dropped from the name and the city became known as Saigon. During the Vietnam War (called the American War by the Vietnamese), soldiers and deserters from the United States Army maintained a thriving black market in Cholon, trading in various American and especially U.S Army-issue items.

  • 10 JULY 2011 - AMPHAWA, SAMUT SONGKRAM, THAILAND:    A Buddhist monk from Wat Amphawan Chetiyaram in Amphawa, Thailand, about 90 minutes south of Bangkok, paddles past a water taxi down the main canal during his alms round. Most of the monks from the temple use boats to go from house to house on their alms rounds. The Thai countryside south of Bangkok is crisscrossed with canals, some large enough to accommodate small commercial boats and small barges, some barely large enough for a small canoe. People who live near the canals use them for everything from domestic water to transportation and fishing. Some, like the canals in Amphawa and nearby Damnoensaduak (also spelled Damnoen Saduak) are also relatively famous for their "floating markets" where vendors set up their canoes and boats as floating shops.

  • 11 JANUARY 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:    Muslim teenagers share an orange soda soft drink in the Ban Krua neighborhood in Bangkok. The Ban Krua neighborhood of Bangkok is the oldest Muslim community in Bangkok. Ban Krua was originally settled by Cham Muslims from Cambodia and Vietnam who fought on the side of the Thai King Rama I. They were given a royal grant of land east of what was then the Thai capitol at the end of the 18th century in return for their military service. The Cham Muslims were originally weavers and what is known as "Thai Silk" was developed by the people in Ban Krua. Several families in the neighborhood still weave in their homes.
