Flatid Planthoppers (Flatidae) in Thailand
ImageOne insect that is often seen in Thai forests is a species of the Flatid (Flatidae) Planthoppers, or to be more precise the nymph of a Flatidae bug. It is the white filamentous body covering of the nymph that causes first interest and then amazement as one realizes that is it in fact an animal. Younger specimens are often mistaken for a fungus or a plant and it is not until the nymph moves that you realize the mistake. As the nymph grows it develops a more insect like appearance, even though keeping the hairy filamentous covering, and it body, leg and face become apparent.

Caves of Phetchaburi and Ratchaburi
ImageAfter humming and awing over where would be a good location to visit in Thailand taking into account the poor weather and light we have at this time of year I plumped for some indoor work. Being a Bangkok resident it goes without saying that an outing in Bangkok to take photographs does not really cut the mustard so an alternative location was needed for a miserable and wet September weekend.

Pollution in the Gulf of Siam
ImageLast week I had intended to travel to Chonburi, Rayong and Chantaburi to view the Thai fishing boat fleets that traditionally remain at port for the Queen's birthday celebrations. I made the trip but the opportunities for photography were not so good as the weather, which is inclement at best during this time of the year, did not really serve up suitable conditions. So a weekend of photographing fishing boats turned into weekend for relaxing by the sea and sampling the absolutely fabulous east coast seafood. Or so I thought.

What was supposed to be a relaxing weekend trip turned into quite an educational trip but for altogether the wrong reasons. The Queen's birthday weekend coincided with a particulary high tide and what was left on the beaches after the high tide was quite shocking. Serious pollution in Thailand.

Khao Ang Rue Nai Wildlife Sanctuary
ImageKhao Ang Rue Nai Wildlife Sanctuary often makes the news whether it be for the marauding elephants that had been hijacking trucks of fruit, the reintroduction of the Siamese crocodile or for the keen work of it's forestry officials who in just one year arrested nearly 4000 encroachers.

Khao Ang Rue Nai is just a short drive (2.5 hours) from Bangkok in Chachoengao province and a quick glance at the location on Google Earth shows you it's main problem, it is primarily lowlands and forest under 250 meters that is being encroached from all sides except the mountainous region of Eastern Forest to the south.
