Street Photography in Bangkok, Exploring Thailand's Best Attractions

Finally, I was back in Thailand, experiencing Thailand's attractions and taking street photography in Bangkok during my four-day, three-night vacation. Don't be surprised if I say this is my first travel experience in Bangkok. Yes, it was my first flight to Bangkok, and I found this holiday trip truly amazing. I stayed for four days and three nights at the Asia Hotel at Phaya Thai Rd. It was quite a different experience for me compared to the Hua Hin and Phuket trips a few years ago because, in Bangkok, I got to communicate more with the Thai locals there.Sawadee Krap and Kup Khun Krap are the most used words I used during the trip. For the four nights holidays in Bangkok, I found that I rarely stayed in a hotel and most of the time was out sightseeing at popular attractions around the city.https://youtu.be/QrEb_T5tQJsI was thrilled about this vacation, and after three years of the pandemic lockdown, I finally arrived in Thailand. My first visit to Bangkok was pretty hardcore, from touring around the city to taking street photography in various areas. Tommy, my friend, and I were there for holidays over the four days. We made a list of tourist sites and places to see in Bangkok. However, I may have made a mistake during my trip! Keep an eye out for the article.

Camera Gears

It's my first time travelling abroad with my Contax G1 film camera and Fujifilm X-T4. I always wanted a nice camera backpack that could fit two camera bodies, but I could not find one. I packed two rolls of Kodak Vision3 500T film, Fujicolor X-Tra 400, Kodak Gold, and Fomapan 400 and brought along my ND filter which was quite useful when shooting in the harsh sunlight. Before this trip, I looked up information about film labs in Bangkok and planned to develop my film there, but I didn't have time. So I had to get it developed at Kuala Lumpur film labs instead.As for my Fujifilm X-T4, I was shooting some short travel videos during my Bangkok trip. It was pretty huge for me when shooting street with the Fujifilm X-T4, I thought of getting a more smaller digital camera, but I still need it for some other portraits work. Most of the time, I've been shooting with my new Fujifilm video recipes and Nomadic Mood for some vintage vibe.

Staying at four stars Asia Hotel Bangkok

Traveling around the city while staying at Asia Hotel Bangkok is convenient as a BTS train station connects directly to the hotel on the first floor. Just a few minutes walk, and you get to Ratchathewi BTS Station. I booked the Superior room for about RM700+ for three nights which is quite affordable. I found the room quite spacious and the bathroom clean too.I guess I won't get lost in Bangkok if it's planned carefully because different types of public transport to choose from in Bangkok the tuk-tuks, Grab cars, taxis, and the BTS train. While all the rooms are non-smoking, smokers can smoke at the designated smoking area near the hotel lobby entrance.If you stayed at Asia Hotel, it was convenient because there are 7-Elevens just a few minutes away if you wanted some snacks. There are other shops, food vendors, and restaurants nearby.

Day 1 - Street Photography in Bangkok's Chinatown

Fujifilm X-T4 // February 2023

Fujifilm X-T4 // February 2023 The flight from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok took roughly 2 hours and 30 minutes. We arrived at Suvarnabhumi Airport at 3 p.m. and headed to the Asia Hotel to check in. I was astonished by the traffic condition there. LOL. During peak hours, the road was congested with vehicles, buses, and tuk-tuks. We rested at the hotel before heading to Chinatown.I liked the nightlife vibe in Chinatown in Bangkok; it was different from Kuala Lumpur. The nightlife is alive! I get some lovely street photos, and the lighting there is speechless. Chinatown is the best place for street photography in Bangkok at night, capturing daily nightlife and people as there are a lot of activities going on.Chinatown in Bangkok is known as the largest Chinatown in the world (I heard it somewhere on one of the travel websites found online); it was busy and packed with tourists and locals. I tried to look for the prevalent fried bugs and insects I saw on Youtube, but I could not find them. No, I'm not interested in eating those bugs and insects; I want to take pictures of them. No luck, though.After dinner, we began our street photography in Bangkok's Chinatown. I was astounded by Chinatown, which was bustling with street food, tourists, automobiles, and tuk-tuks. This is one of my favorite photos from my street photography sessions. Getting a Haircut at Jodd Fairs Night Market, Sound Weird But True

We get on a tuk-tuk ride to our next destination, from Chinatown to Jodd Fairs night market, which cost us about 500 baht. Following our street photography session, we went to the Jodd Fairs night market, formerly known as the Ratchada Train Night Market. I had been dying to get a haircut in Thailand, and I eventually got one for 300 baht at the night market. It was clean-cut, and I loved it. If you chance to be at the night market and want a haircut, you may find the barbershop a few stalls away from the night market's main entrance.

The popular smoothie girl in Bangkok The most popular smoothie juice girl in Bangkok, who went viral on social media, can be seen at Jodd Fairs night market. Tourists from all over the world came to see the smoothie girl make dessert cocktails and fruit juices. If you've seen YouTube, you'll recognize her at the Jodd Fairs night market. My friend was shopping while I was getting a haircut at a barber shop at the night market. Then we relax at a stall serving beers, cocktails, and mocktails while listening to live Cuban music. Relax and unwind. We called it a night and returned to our hotel.

Day 2 - Exploring More Bangkok's Attractions

Probably the second day is one of the busiest days with lots of activities for us as we are exploring some of the popular destinations in the city. Our photo walk and street photography in Bangkok started early in the morning from our hotel to the Erawan Shrine, as we were also hungry and looking for a breakfast place.We visited a few popular tourist attractions, including the Chao Praya high-speed boat ride, checked out the night view at the highest observation deck in the town, and visited a few temples. Street Photography at Hua Lamphong Train Station

Hua Lamphong Train Station My FJM street photographer's friends, who are from the street photography Malaysia club, recommended that I go to Hua Lamphong Train Station, a railway station in Pathum Wan, for a street photography session since the lighting is excellent in the morning. So Tommy and I decided to make it our next stop on our Day 2 investigation of Bangkok's highlights. We used a Grab vehicle, which cost around 100 baht.If you prefer sightseeing, you may visit the Hua Lamphong Train Station to experience the old-fashioned railway trains. You can travel by train from Hua Lamphong to Hua Hin. I was at Hua Hin train station during a previous Thailand trip, and it is connected. There's hardly much to do here besides taking photos if you're into light and shadow photography. Chao Praya High-Speed Boat Ride

We chose to visit the famed Wat Arun after our session at the railway station but were unsure how to get there; luckily, a tour information guide approached us and described in detail how to go to the temple. I always wanted to experience riding a long-tailed speed boat in the Chao Praya River, and finally, I did it. Just like I saw in the Thai TV series dating back to the Ayutthaya period, Love Destiny, and The Kinnaree Conspiracy, to mention a few. We took a boat tour ride to the Bangkok Yai Canal.

There are wooden houses on both sides of the canal and access to a popular places of worship, such as the big buddha statue in Wat Pak Nam Temple, the floating market, and many more. The boat ride along the canal is also great for sightseeing and taking nice photos.On my sightseeing trip, I photographed daily life and old houses along the canal, and the people were welcoming too. While shooting, I kept swapping my film and digital camera to get certain scenes.We returned to our hotel, washed up, and prepared to meet Tommy's friend for dinner. We ate dinner at a restaurant near the King Power MahaNakhon skyscraper building. The next adventure in the city will undoubtedly be rewarding. Amazing Night City View at MahaNakhon Skywalk

Bangkok - A city of temples and eat streets

You will discover diversity in Thailand’s every corner as it is filled with people from different background, nationalities, and religions. That is why you will find a plethora of cuisines and temples all around this dynamic city.

In Bangkok, you will find as many temples as you can find food stalls scattered across neighborhoods: each having their own personality. From elevated views on dishes like pat Tai on food streets to marvelous Buddhist temple built on an artificial mountain and chic restaurants crowning the posh streets, you can discover anything. Let us explore them deeply;

Temple

You cannot fully experience the City of Angels until you have visited the Golden Mount. It is a Buddhist temple that sits on top of Bangkok’s only true hill. It offers breathtaking views of surrounding neighboring temples along with Th Ratchadamnoen. You can also check out the neighboring Wat Saket for murals and some crocs!

Another temple that you must visit the Reclining Buddha which is one of the largest and oldest temples here. This temple homes more than 10,000 Buddha images and also includes the largest Buddha image which measures 160 feet high and is placed on top of a reclining statue thus giving the temple its name. It is also home to a monastery school and consists of a southern compound which is dedicated to practicing monks.

Food

Bangkok is not only amazing due to its tourist spot but it is equally famous for its endless food shops which you can find on every single street — there's so much to both eat and see! From local delights to international cuisines whatever you want, you can taste on this travel. The food streets are vast, extensive and widespread.

Alleys like Trok Itsaranuphap are home to a plethora of stalls which sell foodstuffs, including from dried and preserved foods to live cooking. You can find numerous tea stall around the corners where you will get not only black tea but also green tea, rose tea, oolong, jasmine tea, and other unfamiliar varieties which cannot even pronounce like pu’er; China’s Yunnan post-fermented tea. Another area where you can find amazing food is Chinatown which is replete with stalls lining the streets filled with heavenly dishes and sweets. Some shops have there for decades like Nay Mong which specializes in live cooked oyster omelets.

Have a great time exploring Bangkok; the city of temples and eat streets

Bangkok Historical Places

This city of Thailand beams with versatility. History being one such field, you will encounter some of the most mentally relaxing and protruding experiences of a lifetime here in Bangkok.

The history of Bangkok goes back to the ancient times of the 15th century. During that time it was considered merely a village at the bank of Chao Phraya River. Due to its perfect location on the mouth of this river, the once known village gradually turned a city of great importance in Thailand. Some of the historical places in this lovely city are:

Grand Palace

Always prime in all lists, the Grand Palace was started in 1792 by King Rama I. It is a massive complex of buildings, all located right in the center of Bangkok. It has been inhabited by the Monarchy of Thailand since 1782. It is also the home of Thailand’s most visited temple, The Emerald Buddha. The beauty of it will simply overwhelm you. One thing to take care of when you’re visiting this temple is, no short clothing is allowed. You must be appropriately dressed.

Suan Pakkad Palace

The famous traditional Thai houses we all have seen at least once in pictures or movies can be witnessed right here. It was the former palace of the grandson of King Rama V. It is now a museum from the inside and is the home of the various artistically inclined collection.

Chinatown

We all have heard this one or the other way. Chinatown is not only a bustling hangout spot to eat and shop but also home to the huge Wat Traimit Temple with its 700 year’s old Buddha image. Another temple in Chinatown is Wat Mangkon Kalawat which is known to be its ever busiest temple.

MR Kukrit’s House

Once the home, to a very well known and multifaceted personality of Thailand. Taking a visit to this place is surely going to add up to your experience in Bangkok. It has varied types of teakwood used in its traditional houses. Also, the aura of all that well maintained greenery around you is going to lighten your heart even more with joy.

Wat Pho

Ever seen a 150 feet long, gold covered reclining Buddha? Well, you are going to be surprised and calmed, both by this one. Wat Pho does not only summarise itself with religiousness but also with amazing massages available for its visitors.

The Grand Palace of Thailand

Bangkok’s most famous landmark is the Grand Palace, dating from 1782, when the city was founded as the nation’s capital, and for 150 years the home of the Thai monarch, the royal court, and the administrative seat of government. No longer a royal residence, the Palace remains the spiritual heart of the Kingdom and is used for royal ceremonies and auspicious gatherings. An enormous complex that in its time was almost a self-contained city, the Grand Palace contains exquisite examples of Thai architecture.
