You see a lot of stuff on the roads of Thailand. Trucks so overloaded you are amazed that they are still upright. Not saying it doesn’t make the news when one does flip or the back is so overloaded the front wheels no longer reach the road. Still, these are the ones I have seen while wandering that I found interesting. Nothing fancy about these, just some general snaps I took on my wanderings. If someone is wondering what the…
I do love a good sign here. I have missed taking a photo of But Stop when bus was misspelled but you can’t have everything in life. All of these except the police box was taken here in Jomtien where I live. The police box was taken in Pattaya when I was up there on an excursion. The best thing about these types of shots is that they are easy and just fun to take. Nothing serious about them. Also,…
It seems everyone liked these shots so I figured I post more. I have a ton of them. Just random snaps I take when I’m out and about. I rarely use my phone as a camera. Instead, I carry my Sony RX100iii or sometimes a bigger camera. Some of these were shot with manual focus adapted lenses on a Sony A7R or Sony A7ii. Enjoy!
Where I live in Thailand a tuk tuk is rare. We use songthaew’s (Baht bus), motorbike taxis, and if you are a masochist a real taxi if you wish to be triple charged for a trip. So seeing a tuk tuk is not a common sight. In fact, it’s illegal in my city to use a tuk tuk as paid transport. Businesses can use them to ferry customers from their location to another but there can be no fee. Not…
These are pretty common all over Pattaya. The VW Bus or at least a shell that looks like one converted into a cocktail van. They actually serve decent cocktails and I have sat and whiled away the time at one more than a few times. The one downside is that they tend to have music blasting at ear-bleeding volume so best to sit far from the speakers. Enjoy.
I have seen a lot of civil disobedience in the news lately. I figured I share my perspective of it from Thailand. Not saying we don’t have our issues here but everyone knows a good protest requires food and a party-like atmosphere in Thailand. You can’t have a protest on an empty stomach in Thailand and what’s the point if it’s not fun? With that said, I present to you the usual Thail method of civil disobedience. With style and…
I have been exercising again, well walking around my condo complex which I discovered is freaking huge. To alleviate the boredom of said exercise I take a camera out with me. This being the mighty Sony RX100III. We have officially entered the rainy season here in Thailand but the water situation is critical. They are rationing water and cutting it off. The good thing is water is stored in tanks here and water trucks come in and fill them up….
This was part of my wandering around with a Sony A7R and manual focus lenses. Not sure what is going on but the picture quality isn’t great on the A7R. I will try the adapted lenses on another camera. This photo was taken with an Oshiro 35mm f/2. I have used it before and had great results but who the hell knows. I also used an older than dirt Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 and had the same problem. I came…
I shot these last June when I was in Bangkok for a few days. I’m not the worlds biggest fan of the Big Mango as Bangkok is known. It’s also known as a city suffering from horrible air quality. The Bangkok Metropolitan Authority is trying everything to clear the air. Including spraying the air with molasses with drones. I wish I was making that up. These were shot around Sukhimvit Soi 4 and Khao San Rd. using my Nikon D5500…
This is the second set of images from this series. These were shot all last October using my Sony RX10. Enjoy!
