After The Last Dive

(Yi Peng) Lantern Festival

The Lantern Festival in Northern Thailand is called Yi Peng Festival.  It is a unique traditional practice and the northern version of Loy Kratong. This is an unusual ritual of launching a Lanna- Style hot air "lantern balloons". The belief has it that when these huge hot air balloons are set to drift and float away and take the troubles of the launcher with it. 

Yantra Tattoo

A Yantra tattoo is a form of magical tattoo. It was once widely practiced throughout Asia- most commonly in Cambodia where the tattoo's purpose is primarily for self-protection. Many Cambodians believe that yantras have magical powers to ward off evil spirits. It is believed to be one of the most powerful ways to ensure good fortune with these sacred tattoos. With the ever increasing modernization this practice is becoming less common. Despite Cambodia's modernity, it's culture is still pervaded by superstition and it's religious traditions are quite tolerant of these older beliefs. 

Diving Trip

Ahh.. as for the october break 15th - 21st a group of 13 of us went on a dive trip to Ao Nang, Krabi.

5 of us were certified, but the rest of us never dived before. The classroom sessions were quite boring, but as soon as we got into the ocean it was fun..! At the end we had 2 new specialty divers and 7 new certified divers. One person, due to sinus problems couldn't dive along. As soon as I get the dive Video I will out it on my site. 

Our dive instructors were really cool, nice and funny. The already certified divers went to different locations for their dives. But the new learners had 4 dives all around Phi Phi island. 

I Believe . . .

I Believe that the world is not a place for me. 

I Believe in the afterlife.

I Believe that god has it all planned out. 

I Believe everything is related.

I Believe that the world is constantly changing.

I Believe in another world. 

I Believe that because you were born alone you will die alone. 

I Believe that I will find my way through life. 

I Believe in rebirth.

I Believe in Angels.

I Believe that there is communication with the dead. 

I Believe in what I want to believe in. 

I don't believe, but I know that one day we will all die.

Memories

Although this trip was a while back ... but i still hold many memories from it. 

In 2006 as grade 10s went to Koh Samet during camp week. Stayed at Jep's Bungalow. It was different from all the other camps I have been t.o.o.o.o. I think we had fun. On some night we watched fire shows and on other days we just had fun on the beach. One of the days even we went out on a boat to "Koh Tapuu" on a snorkeling trip, but almost couldn't come back, because the boat got stuck on rock and the tide went down. I miss it and want to relate old memories and experiences to my art work as well.

Jason Tamthai

Jason was born in 1976 in Bangkok, Thailand. He is fluent in two languages and has rich multicultural background. He studied art and oil painting in the US, and also traveled for 8 years. In 2002 Jason returned to Thailand to paint full time and now resides in Chiang Mai.

Jason's work exemplifies his mix background as well as his moderate and minimalist philosophy. In abstract form, he combines deep tones of Baroque art with flowing lines and expressive brush marks typical of Asian paintings. The effects are elegant patterns of oils and solvents interviewing to create images of Thai quilts, ancient scrolls or surfaces of weathered trees and rocks. Being partly from Chiang Mai Jason draws much of his inspiration from nature and the geography of northern Thailand. His work strongly emphasizes the balance and partnership between man and nature, and conveys a sense of absolute peace and calmness that he intends for himself and his audience.
