I was visiting the Wat Phra Keo, first time with a "good" camera, and out of the predictable touristy feel of the place (the entrance is actually a great spot to people watch and shoot), came a long line of college kids, the student nurses from the Metharuk college. Sight-seeing was over, Sanook was on. You will recognize it happened in Thailand when I will tell that going back outside the compound, walking towards the river, I heard  laughters and screams calling me on. they had recognized me as i took pictures of them along their friends and other tourists, and that  gregarious solicitude we all experienced from people to a total stranger, here in the midst of the most touristed corner, is what makes Thailand a place unlike any other.

That's why the call this country the Land of Smiles and from their hearts too. Nice shot and very natural indeed.
