Pattaya City

The Pattaya Blues

For the final few days of my trip I found myself heading back to Pattaya on the eastern Gulf coast.  I'd been to Pattaya the year previous and although it wasn't my most favourite of places, for just a couple of nights it's an ideal place to party, drink and dance.  A good send off … Continue reading The Pattaya Blues

Return to Phuket

As I write this I've just finished binge watching After Life by Ricky Gervais on Netflix.  If you haven't watched it, I thoroughly recommend it.  Hilarious and sad at the same time.  A heads up however that it might affect the tone of this post! After my shoot with Dia in Bangkok, the next day … Continue reading Return to Phuket

DIa

Dia

So, day one in Thailand had been pretty exhausting.  I'd visited Ayutthaya and I'd also done a night shoot with Tegoshi Miwa.  I wasn't done yet though as for day two in Bangkok I had a second portrait shoot booked in! I thought I'd start things off a little easier though and after a lie … Continue reading Dia

Tegoshi Miwa

Tegoshi Miwa

Whilst I'd been having a great time exploring Ayutthaya, as the day wore on my thoughts increasingly turned toward my evening plans. Over the past 12 months I'd been exploring portrait photography more and more and the opportunity to shoot a model whilst I was in Thailand had worked its way into my head.  'Nelly' … Continue reading Tegoshi Miwa

Wat Mahathat, Ayutthaya

Adventures in Ayutthaya

November 2016 arrived and with it was my planned return to Thailand.  I'd had so much fun the previous year that I was determined to return and see some of the things I'd missed 12 months earlier. Top of the list for my first few days after arrival was to visit the ancient city of … Continue reading Adventures in Ayutthaya

Patong Beach Sunset

Land of Smiles

Here it is, the final of my posts from 2015's trip to Thailand.  Expect some posts from 2016's trip in a few months time, but I think it's likely I'm going to move off travelling for a while and post the results of the portrait shoots I've also been working on. Phuket ... Patong especially, … Continue reading Land of Smiles

Phang Nga Bay

Phang Nga Bay

The final trip of my week in Phuket was to head out to Phang Nga Bay.  The reason?  I was desperate to see James Bond Island.  It's one of the most popular tourist attractions in the area, but having been such a huge James Bond fan back in my early years I knew I had … Continue reading Phang Nga Bay

Maya Bay, Phi Phi Leh.

Islands In The Sun

The weirdest thing about writing this post from last years trip?  That in the past few weeks I've just enjoyed my second visit to Thailand! Prior to this my memories from 2015 were vivid and clear, but now they've become somewhat hazy.  This means I really need to focus on finishing the blog posts before my … Continue reading Islands In The Sun

Wat Rong Khun (The White Temple), Chiang Rai.

The White Temple & Golden Triangle

This was my last day in the North of Thailand and in advance I had decided that I'd participate in a full days trip which would take in The White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) in Chiang Rai and the Golden Triangle, which is where the countries of Thailand, Myanmar (Burma) and Laos all meet, split by … Continue reading The White Temple & Golden Triangle

Nawarat Bridge, Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai

Bangkok was a lot of fun, but after 4 nights I was ready to get moving.  Big cities are an adventure (Bangkok especially) but I'm a country boy at heart and already I needed some space.  Next up was a flight to Chiang Mai (for a ridiculously cheap price) where I was set to spend … Continue reading Chiang Mai
