Sawadee Ka Thailand

My Photo scholarship 2010 entry

Australia | Sunday, October 17, 2010 | 5 photos

This was my first visit to Thailand and what an amazing experience it was! Through my photography, I wanted to show:
- Thailand's infamous Tuk Tuks. The photo was taken from inside a Tuk Tuk with another Tuk Tuk blurred wanting to show chaos. Unfortunately, i'm not sure where all the other cars had been hiding at that particular intersection!
- Thailand's national sport Muay Thai. This photo was purposely taken dark with the fighting ring under the spotlight to represent how dingy this area was. The fighting ring was surrounded by many sleazy bars with Thai girls trying to lure us in.
- The other 3 photos are showing the different cultures that are located from North to South of Thailand.
I love capturing moments and love my camera so much that i sleep with it :) I will sit in the middle of the pavement just so I can get the right angle of my shot. No matter how dirty nor silly I may look. It is the satisfaction that I feel when my friends and family murmur wow at my photos, that's when I know it was all worth it!
