@Peter ***************

Thanks. The multi entry visa sounds good. It isn't on the embassy list of visa types, although looking again, it sounds like the regular tourist visa description.

Burning season is real and skews the annual numbers. But for 10 out of 12 months, the air is fine. We were there from January 9 through March 6 this year and didn't see any smoke, although I hear it got bad a week or two after we left. But, "all year round" is very misleading.

Is it illegal or unethical for Ayutthaya zoo to use my photo for advertising without my permission?

Randall *******

The photo belongs to the photographer, not to you. If you signed anything, including a money receipt, there is most likely a rights waiver attached that allows the photographer to use the photo as he chooses.
