After leaving my home in Ho Chi Minh City, on my way to traveling Europe for the summer, I decided to fit a stop in Bangkok, Thailand. It was a chance to meet the many talented local street photographers here, while of course fitting in some time for street photography of my own. Bangkok was a challenge with how many of the streets and neighborhoods can feel empty, but after exploring enough and getting some local advice, I was able to find some spots for photography.
So here’s 33 photos that I was able to capture during my time in Bangkok…

Just came back from Bangkok and can’t wait to go back!! Next time I am there I would love to meet up with a few photographers and have a little guided tour of some of the better Street Photography places to go and check out.

When I first saw #7 I didn’t think it was a good photo, then I saw the reflection in the two mirrors and I thought, “WOW! That is a great shot!” I really like number 20 also. Great capture. This is an impressive collection for just one week.

Ha, thanks, Jeff! Are you visiting here too, or just Vietnam coming up in April?
Jeff Bell says
I live in Bangkok half the year and Alaska the other half. I am taking a 10-day trip through Vietnam in April, looking forward to photographing Saigon. I really enjoyed all your posts and tips for Vietnam and Bangkok!

Thanks, Jeff, I’m glad. I’m not sure if you could find more of a contrast of places to live! Must be interesting. Well, I won’t be back in Saigon until May, but if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to shoot me a message. Cheers!
