Thailand 2 of 4: traditional portraits

Challenge #8 in the around the world in 80 ways series. Hosted by santamonica812.

Challenge has finished

Last week, we focused (heh) on environmental portraits. This week, fill the screen with your subject's face(s). Good lighting, good facial expressions, etc.. Wow us with what you submit. Please, no images that you've already used in prior challenges . . . let's see something fresh and new from you. (I will likely depend on help from other challenge participants in tracking down violators. So, images that are repeats could be DQ'd at any time . .. even after the challenge ends!) Thanks in advance for this. :-)
