monk shot #67

Monks on a baht bus are a fairly standard shot for me. Especially when in Chiang Mai where it sometimes seems there’s at least one monk on every baht bus you see. Sleeping monks, not so much. Which considering the Thai fondness for taking naps is a bit surprising. So when I spotted one young novice crashed out and catching some zzzz’s in the back of a pickup at Wat Chedi Luang, it was a photographic nirvana.

I never thought the shutter on my camera made much noise. But after about the fourth click, another youngster draped in saffron woke from his temporary bed in the bed of a neighboring truck. And then either out of the joy of seeing a camera pointed his way, or from the humor of being caught out, let loose with one of those smiles Thailand is famous for. And I scored a two-fer.
