Getting ready for Thailand

Rain and wind. Stockholm is under siege today. I’m preparing the list of stuff to put in the luggage for the 2 weeks holiday in Thailand, starting this Tuesday.

I did a search on the web for tips about taking photos in Thailand and found the following:

  • A Photographer’s Guide to Bangkok who describes Thailand as being the best country for beginners to Southeast Asia.
  • Thailand pictures – a collection of types of images one may take in Thailand, with notes on photography. For instance from the Pictures of Thais section, we find out that’s recommended to ask politely before taking a picture of someone, using this expression: Thai ruup dai mai, krap (male speaker), ka (female speaker). I’ll remember the Krap part for sure.
  • Photography Thailand Forum – a rich forum with a lot of tips. Registration and some basic participation in the forum is required for viewing some of the posts, but there are threads with plenty of accessible information, like this one.
  • Thai photo blogs – daily photos from Thailand, accompanied by stories. One may see how Thai fighting cocks are bathed after fight trainings.

Here’s an image from exactly one week ago, when it was sunny, taken in Gärdet, Stockholm:
