Ma Du Zi


We all know that now’s not a very good time to travel to Bangkok with the international and domestic airports still shut, but if you’re planning to go there in the not too distant future, may I recommend Ma Du Zi – an ultra chic boutique hotel conveniently situated in the Sukhumvit business district. Ma Du Zi means come and see in Thai, and it’s definitely worth more than just a look. Hotel and fashion aficionados will go ga ga over this gorgeous hotel.

Temple of the Dawn


This is Wat Arun at dusk. Contrary to its name which means Temple of the Dawn, the popular tourist attraction is at its most magical when night falls.

Mai Pen Rai


Bangkok is in a state of chaos with the shutdown of Suvarnabhumi Airport, leaving tens of thousands of tourists stranded. Many of whom will be missing Thanksgiving back home because of the unrest. Well, as the Thais would say when face with a setback, mai pen rai which means never mind. That’s life, so just grin and bear it like this photo which I shot with my Canon G7 in June this year.

The farang looks troubled as he waits in a yellow cab stuck in Bangkok’s notorious traffic. The smiley decal is an interesting contrast to the lad’s glum face. I can imagine there are many more glum faces in Bangkok as I write. Hopefully, the crisis will end amicably soon... but I won’t hold my breath.

Still


I like to play with natural light to create different moods, turning a simple subject into an object of beauty. This picture was taken at The River House, Balapitiya, Sri Lanka.
