Hi everyone,

I want to share with you some photos I captured in my trip to Thailand. I'm aspiring to be a travel photographer someday, those are yet amatourish but I'm doing my best.


Kanchanaburi railway of death, in whose construction during the WWII, more than 100.000 prisoners of war died in the hands of the Japanese. — at Death Railway 死亡鐵路.


Silk production from silkworms. It's very rude to refuse a friendly offer in Thailand, but I had to refuse her offer when she tried to make me eat them. Yes, the silkworms. — at Pattaya Floating Market, Thailand.

awesome pics, man. hoping to visit thailand at some point next year. where did you go and what places you definitely recommend?

I'd say if you want to see the real Thailand only, avoid party islands and party cities. They're kind of designed places to attract tourism income, and you can't find genuine stuff there. There're hundreds of untouched islands in Thailand. I'd recommend Krabi, Ko Lanta, Khao Sok, Ko Ngai, Phetchaburi, Ayutthaya and Chiang Mai; it's a list of nice natural and historical places. Especially if you also avoid the crowded touristic season, you'll find much greater serenity and cheaper prices :)

I'll definitely at least be visiting Koh Tao since I know a few people there but definitely want to check out more 'untouristy' places as well.

what time of year were you there?

I was there from August to October, great weather, only a bit rainy at times but not raining all day. It pours all the rain for an hour or two and then it clears.

thanks for the info, man.

resteemed, great photos - thanks for sharing! :-)

These pictures make me want to travel to this beautiful country even more! My son spent 3 months there but I still have yet to see any pictures! thank you for posting...Gracias

I'm also considering revisiting Thailand for travelling more off the beaten track :) Thank you very much!
