The first Bird man from Thailand?
Found this in a cave in the mangrove forest at Krabi Thailand! They told us it was painted for around 2500 years ago!

Cool!
Reminds me of a visit to the first freefall school in Massachewsetts (sp?). It was on a cliff, over looking Turner's Falls and opened a thousand years or so ago. Native priests used to throw virgins off during droughts and for other foolish religious reasons (... terrible waste of virgins if you ask me ...) Their retention rate was dismal until parachutes were invented.

Seriously, the first Birdman may have been an ancient Thai.
Ignore what those silly, Euro-centric historians tell you.

The hole area is full of low cliffs you can flick as much you want! Acces is difficult for most of them, and you need to be a climber and a jungle guy!
