I've been working a lot in Thailand lately. All of the photos I've made there are in this gallery. There are travel features, social issues (immigration from Burma) and news photos (the Red Shirts UDD protests).
  • 03 OCTOBER 2009 -- CHONBURI, THAILAND: A man takes his water buffalo to the registration area before the first day of races at the Chonburi Buffalo Races Festival, Saturday, Oct. 3. Contestants race water buffalo about 200 meters down a muddy straight away. The buffalo races in Chonburi first took place in 1912 for Thai King Rama VI. Now the races have evolved into a festival that marks the end of Buddhist Lent and is held on the first full moon of the 11th lunar month (either October or November). Thousands of people come to Chonburi, about 90 minutes from Bangkok, for the races and carnival midway. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ By photographer Jack Kurtz
