Taking a break from paddling their dugouts, these two women are having a chat.
Their hats and long sleeves are for a reason.
A photograph cannot convey the combination of heat and humidity in that part of the world- but when the index is above 150, you can bet it's extremely uncomfortable for those not raised there or in a similar climate.
And Bangkok's heat/humidity index is more than 150 much of the time.

Oh if only the water had reflected a little more light up under the hat! Nice capture Charlie!

Thanks Douglas.
I agree about the light under the woman's hat.
Among the ironies of photography is that the brighter the sunlight, the darker the shadows.
As a slide shooter the problem is exacerbated because of the basic contrast of most slide films.
I fiddled with the lightness/darkness of the woman's face as much as I could to get SOME detail- but this was as far as my meager skills could take it- and give a result that I liked.
