| The interior of a minivan. When you hear about mudslides or freak collisions taking out mini-busses, this is what flew/got wiped off the road: a 16 passenger van decked out with c. 1986 bling that has outlasted the accompanying aircon by almost as long as it's outlasted its comeback |
 |
| Seatran Ferry's pier at DonSak. This is one of the two ferry operators--Seatran and Raja/Rajha/Rajah/Ragha(h)/Racha(h)/Ratcha(h)--at the secondary port to the world-renowned Full Moon Parties at Koh Phangan. The pier doubles as a salvage yard: as ships break down, they are moored for easy scavenging and the pier is extended. |
 |
| And at some point, it's hard to tell which have been decommissioned and which just don't get much use. |

| DonSak's seaward face, with open-air arc welding on the ferry. |

The interior overflow cabin, looking fore. |
 |
| Looking fore in the first class cabin: TVs in front of reclining seats behind walled-off couches in the VIP room. And everywhere, "No Sleeping On Couches" |
 |
| Seating in the aft sundeck |
 |
| Vehicular transport: half a dozen lorries, a CAT backhoe, three postal vehicles, a tour bus, a flock of motorbikes, a handful of motor cars, and quite a bit of room to spare |
 |
| Commuting: both ferry operators depart at the same time, so there are always at least two ships in sight. |
 |
| Ferry port screen left, giant alabaster Buddha center stage. I know I'm thinking like a local when I have to remind myself this might be photo-worthy |

| Stormclouds blowing in on one of my favorite places in the world |
