Welcome to my Flickr photostream.. these photos document my journey over the last 5 years.. I get a great deal of pleasure out of sharing my photos and experience with my Flickr friends. and enjoy my friends photos and the insights they give me into their lives and the people they have met and the places they have been..

I live in the north east of Thailand... Isaan.. the local people here are ethnically Lao and have maintained a distinctive culture and language quite different to the the rest of the country..

I hope you enjoy your visit... please leave comments.. it is nice to know who has been by.. and to have the opportunity to view your photos as well.

From: 'The Town Where Time Stands Still'

Travellers through the centuries have threaded their baser motives of profit and pleasure with a subtler, and sometimes even unconscious, compulsion - the search for the genii loci. In the purer realm of travel, which has nothing to do with vacations, humans hope to be moved rather than to move. They seek an external geography that will act on their internal psychology like an irresistible force, so that they will return to the place from which they came blessed and altered.

    "I always enjoy following larryoien's life and travels through his photographs. His sensitive and insightful images of friendly faces and places, well beyond the beaten track, are delightful to see. His "...home in Isaan" provides a glimpse of Nirvana for the quintessential traveler in all of us."
