Each week we publish a gallery of readers' pictures on a set theme. This week the theme is Thailand and we begin with an image taken by Jim Byrden.

Tracey Malone: "An old lady sells sticky rice on the floating market at Damnoen Saduak."

Sophia Huda: "I took this picture while snorkelling off the island of Kho Tao. These fish were very interested in us humans and would swim straight up to you, veering off at the last minute or surrounding you and giving sharp little 'kisses' everywhere."

Lewis Handley: "This is a curious water buffalo named Thidwick in my back garden in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Water buffalo are just so interesting and once you get to know them you'll find they have very unique personalities, just like Thailand."

Madhulika Joshi: "The cliche - Pattaya city."

Gerwyn Williams: "This was taken at Wat Muang in Angthong Province on a day trip from Bangkok with my wife and some friends. The size of the Buddha is very impressive as the land around it is very flat so you can see it from miles away."

Jo Farrell: "A Buddha's head entwined in tree roots, Wat Mahathat, Ayutthaya."

Tom Bushell: "Traditional Thai boats line up on Koh Phi Phi beach where The Beach was filmed."

Emily Deibert: "With this scooter, we were able to take in all 9.6 sq miles [17.9 sq km] of the beautiful, undisturbed island of Koh Mak."

Tree Cowell: "An elephant and rider clear a patch of land for a game of elephant polo."

Phil Lattimore: "Preparing fish in Bangkok's Chinatown district."

Eric Matthews: "Buddhist figures awaiting repair or renovation in a car park at the rear of a shop in Bangkok, Thailand."

Tim DiMarzio: "Watching the night fade away as the sun starts to make its presence known for the next day of exploring in Bangkok."

Ralph Tabberer: "School's out - just in time for the monsoon rain in Bangkok."

Lauri Walker: "A hot day on Ko Samet during the summer of 2006, this thirsty guy joins us for a drink."

And finally a photo taken by David Humphreys of Koh Phi Phi. Next week the theme is music, and the deadline for your entries is 4 September. If you would like to enter, send your pictures to yourpics@bbc.co.uk. Further details and terms can be found by following the link below this gallery.
