  • May 12 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Maj. Gen. KHATTIYA "Seh Daeng" SAWASDIPOL (center, in army fatigues) is driven through the Red Shirt camp in Bangkok on the back of a motor scooter Wednesday. Seh Daeng, as he is known, has emerged as the Red Shirts unofficial military commander. He has organized the barricades that ring the Red Shirt camp and has threatened to organize a guerilla campaign against the government if the Red Shirt protest is crushed by force. Seh Daeng is a hero to many Thais because he is credited with crushing Thailand's communist insurgency in the 1970's and 80's. He was the commander of Thailand's Internal Security Operations Command but after his political activities became apparent he was made the head aerobics instructor for the Thai army. He is now seen as one of the major personalities destabilizing the country and the government alleges that he is behind many of the grenade attacks and drive by shootings directed at government buildings and officials and he is wanted for a long list of felony offenses including weapons charges and terrorism related charges. Although some Red Shirts have officially repudiated him, he is still frequently seen around the Reds' barricades. The army has started proceedings to fire him, but he remains a general on active duty.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • May 12 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Maj. Gen. KHATTIYA "Seh Daeng" SAWASDIPOL (center, in army fatigues) is driven through the Red Shirt camp in Bangkok on the back of a motor scooter Wednesday. Seh Daeng, as he is known, has emerged as the Red Shirts unofficial military commander. He has organized the barricades that ring the Red Shirt camp and has threatened to organize a guerilla campaign against the government if the Red Shirt protest is crushed by force. Seh Daeng is a hero to many Thais because he is credited with crushing Thailand's communist insurgency in the 1970's and 80's. He was the commander of Thailand's Internal Security Operations Command but after his political activities became apparent he was made the head aerobics instructor for the Thai army. He is now seen as one of the major personalities destabilizing the country and the government alleges that he is behind many of the grenade attacks and drive by shootings directed at government buildings and officials and he is wanted for a long list of felony offenses including weapons charges and terrorism related charges. Although some Red Shirts have officially repudiated him, he is still frequently seen around the Reds' barricades. The army has started proceedings to fire him, but he remains a general on active duty.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

The 2800 foot long (850 meters) Saphan Mon (Mon Bridge) spans the Song Kalia River. It is reportedly second longest wooden bridge in the world. The bridge was severely damaged during heavy rainfall in July 2013 when its 230 foot middle section  (70 meters) collapsed during flooding. Officially known as Uttamanusorn Bridge, the bridge has been used by people in Sangkhla Buri (also known as Sangkhlaburi) for 20 years. The bridge was was conceived by Luang Pho Uttama, the late abbot of of Wat Wang Wiwekaram, and was built by hand by Mon refugees from Myanmar (then Burma). The wooden bridge is one of the leading tourist attractions in Kanchanaburi province. The loss of the bridge has hurt the economy of the Mon community opposite Sangkhla Buri. The repair has taken far longer than expected. Thai Prime Minister General Prayuth Chan-ocha ordered an engineer unit of the Royal Thai Army to help the local Mon population repair the bridge. Local people said they hope the bridge is repaired by the end November, which is when the tourist season starts.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 31 OCTOBER 2012 - YARANG, PATTANI, THAILAND: A woman in the Thai Army prays with villagers in Wat Kohwai before they left on a procession to Yala for Ok Phansa. Ok Phansa marks the end of the Buddhist 'Lent' and falls on the full moon of the eleventh lunar month (October). It's a day of joyful celebration and merit-making. For the members of Wat Kohwai, in Yarang District of Pattani, it was a even more special because it was the first time in eight years they've been able to celebrate Ok Phansa. The Buddhist community is surrounded by Muslim villages and it's been too dangerous to hold the boisterous celebration because of the Muslim insurgency that is very active in this area. This the year the Thai army sent a special group of soldiers to secure the village and accompany the villagers on their procession to Yala, a city  about 20 miles away.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
