As a former college radio DJ and a long time radio buff, I’m fascinated by audio’s ability to transport us without the use of pictures. The past several months, in addition to my camera I have carried around a digital audio recorder. So far I haven’t done much to edit and share the “audio postcards” I’ve collected, but I’m going to start sharing them so you can get a sense of what this country sounds like.
Since moving here more than three years ago, I’ve noticed that Thailand is a country of sounds. Here in Khrungthep it is often very loud, with overlapping noises competing for your attention. But beyond the sheer volume is the uniqueness of the sounds, sounds that weave together as part of the Thai life.

Wow, you sound like a DJ. Great radio voice 🙂
And you didn’t pop your p’s too. I like these little slices of life in Bangkok.
@ElusiveWords – I had to re-record several times to eliminate most of the pops. =(
@CareyGLY – Thanks. Coffee and cigarettes daily. Well, no cirgarettes, actually.
Chris,
Have you ever considered working at NPR? Just a thought! I think you fit in marvelously!
Great job. You do have a good voice – you would give most of the radio folks a run for the money…
Interesting…no comments on the chanting itself, the reason for the audioclip. I like the idea of listening occasionally. There is so much visual stimulation that we have to remove that to focus on what our other senses can experience. Thanks for sharing this.
Haunting sound. I love it. AND I always thought you had a great DJ voice.
What an interesting concept and great addition to your blog. I hope to hear more audio postcards soon! And, yes, the first thought that came to my mind was: what a clear, soothing voice. You should totally do radio.
@Worldlyme – @murisopsis – @jandsschultz – @stebow – @euphorie – Thanks for all your nice comments and feedback. It sounds like audio postcard is a popular feature so I will be posting more from time to time.
I loved listening to this. Thank you. You’ve contributed to my serenity.
@jojobaDESIGNS – Thanks for the kind words.
