  • 11 FEBRUARY 2015 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A detail photo of street signs near Santa Cruz Church in the Thonburi section of Bangkok. The bottom, yellow and black sign, is pointing the way to Thanusingha Bakery, the top, blue, sign is the name of the street. The neighborhood around the church is known for the Thai adaptation of Portuguese cakes baked in the neighborhood. Several hundred Siamese (Thai) Buddhists converted to Catholicism in the 1770s. Some of the families started baking the cakes. When the Siamese Empire in Ayutthaya was sacked by the Burmese, the Portuguese and Thai Catholics fled to Thonburi, in what is now Bangkok. The Portuguese established a Catholic church near the new Siamese capital. There are still a large number of Thai Catholics living in the neighborhood around the church.         PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • Sept 27, 2009 -- BACHO, NARATHIWAT: Muslims vandalize a Thai road sign by painting over the Thai script with Yawe, the local language (a dialect of Malay). Language is one the key issues in the conflict in southern Thailand. Local Muslims want to use Yawe, the Thai government insists all official communication be done in Thai. Thailand's three southern most provinces; Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat are often called "restive" and a decades long Muslim insurgency has gained traction recently. Nearly 4,000 people have been killed since 2004. The three southern provinces are under emergency control and there are more than 60,000 Thai military, police and paramilitary militia forces trying to keep the peace battling insurgents who favor car bombs and assassination.

  • July 12 - GILA BEND, AZ: Signs warning recreational users of the Sonoran Desert National Monument of the dangers of encountering illegal immigrants and drug smugglers on Freeman Rd, south of Gila Bend, AZ, off of Interstate 8. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) put up the signs at entrances to the Sonoran Desert National Monument after off roaders reported being shot at by unknown parties and a deputy from the Pinal County Sheriff's Department was fired on and nearly killed by suspected drug dealers. The signs have ignited a firestorm in Arizona politics, conservatives and anti-immigration activists assert that the signs are proof that illegal immigration and drug smuggling is out of control in the area while others suggest that the danger is overstated and the signs are hurting Arizona tourism. A BLM spokesperson said no one has been hurt in the area by confirmed smugglers and that there are very few encounters between smugglers and tourists or off roaders in the monument.

  • 12 MARCH 2013 - ALONG HIGHWAY 13, LAOS:  The turn off of Highway 13 to a Chinese hydro power plant. The paving of Highway 13 from Vientiane to near the Chinese border has changed the way of life in rural Laos. Villagers near Luang Prabang used to have to take unreliable boats that took three hours round trip to get from the homes to the tourist center of Luang Prabang, now they take a 40 minute round trip bus ride. North of Luang Prabang, paving the highway has been an opportunity for China to use Laos as a transshipping point. Chinese merchandise now goes through Laos to Thailand where it's put on Thai trains and taken to the deep water port east of Bangkok. The Chinese have also expanded their economic empire into Laos. Chinese hotels and businesses are common in northern Laos and in some cities, like Oudomxay, are now up to 40% percent. As the roads are paved, more people move away from their traditional homes in the mountains of Laos and crowd the side of the road living off tourists' and truck drivers.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 24 AUGUST 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:     The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) in Bangkok. The SET Index has fallen more than 3 percent since July on news weak GDP growth and lower than expected corporate profits. 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
