A murky stream flows through a narrow channel lined with concrete and ornamented retaining walls in the middle of a tropical settlement in Kamala (ตำบลกมลา), Kathu District (อำเภอกะทู้), Phuket Province, Thailand. On the left bank stands a simple wooden house with a red corrugated-metal roof, with laundry hung out to dry in front of it. Lush tropical vegetation with banana plants, palms, and dense greenery lines both sides of the stream. In the background, densely forested hills rise, over which a column of smoke rises into the cloudy sky. Power cables cross over the scene. The entire environment feels humid and green, typical of the tropical climate of southern Thailand. — Phuket Oct 12, 2025

An elevated wooden pavilion with a red roof and white railing stands on stilts above a graffiti-covered concrete base at the edge of a densely forested hill in Kamala, Kathu District, Phuket Province, Thailand. A narrow stream flows over rocks through the lush green tropical vegetation and empties into a murky, sand-colored pool in the foreground. The entire scene is surrounded by dense tropical rainforest, whose tall trees completely cover the hill in the background. Wild grasses, ferns, and tropical plants line the banks of the stream. On the right edge of the image, small figures of visitors can be seen on a path in the distance. The sky is lightly cloudy with scattered patches of blue. — Phuket Oct 12, 2025

A cream-colored vintage convertible, likely from the 1930s, stands in front of an open building with a thatched roof in Kamala, Kathu, Phuket Province, Thailand. The car is heavily weathered, with peeling paint, rust spots on the doors, fenders, and body, and weeds growing out from beneath the vehicle. The brown leather seats are visible, the top is folded back, and the windshield stands upright. The wire-spoke wheels show clear patina. In the background are tropical plants, orchids, a fan, and other parked vehicles. The open building with wooden posts and a palm-leaf roof resembles a small restaurant or café in typical Southeast Asian style. The sky is partly cloudy. — Phuket Oct 11, 2025

Three traditional clay jars with pointed lids stand side by side on a weathered wooden table with peeling paint. The bulbous, reddish-brown vessels have vertical ridges and rest on small saucers. The table sits beneath a wooden canopy with decorative carvings along the roof edge. Lush green foliage and pink bougainvillea blossoms spill over the canopy. In the background, tropical vegetation with various trees and shrubs can be seen. Beneath the table stand two small brass cups. The scene conveys a calm, rural atmosphere typical of Southeast Asia, where such clay vessels are traditionally used to store drinking water. — Chiang Mai Oct 6, 2025

Numerous colourful fishing boats in blue, red, green and orange rest on a patch of lush green ground cover along a tropical stretch of coast. On the right, a concrete breakwater runs along the shore, with the turquoise sea and light surf beyond. In the background, a long coastline extends with palm trees, white buildings, a water tower and a telecommunications antenna. The sky is slightly hazy with thin wisps of cloud. The scene is reminiscent of a typical Thai fishing village with its characteristic blend of traditional fishing and coastal development. — Hua Hin Nov 11, 2019
