A dance performance at the Paragon Mall. On the weekends in Bangkok, a trip to the malls usually offers some form of free entertainment or performance.

Mouse over the image for an alternate post-processed version (Adobe Flash required). I hunkered down and finally taught myself some basic Flash to make such wipe away effects. At some point, when I have more internet time in India, I'll go back and redo all my alternate picture posts with Flash jQuery as to present alternate post-processed images a bit more elegantly.
