PRIVATE BANGKOK PHOTOGRAPHY TOURS

I do private street photography tours & workshops of Bangkok for photographers of all ability levels, from beginners to pros! I’ll take you away from the tourist areas and into streets you might never discover by yourself, where you’ll meet friendly, curious locals who are happy to have their picture taken, as well as giving you pointers about composition, camera settings, light, and how to approach subjects. You’ll get to experience Bangkok as it is lived by its inhabitants, learn a bit about the city’s history, meet market traders, monks and craftsmen, try the local food, and of course get some great images.

All walks last for 3-4 hours depending on pace and include bottled water, coffee/snack break, entrance fees where applicable, and any additional transportation costs (such as taxis or tuk-tuks). Everything is customisable to your specific needs. I’ll even throw in post-tour critique of your images if you like!

I only do a handful of tours per month so please book early to avoid disappointment. Details of my two standard experiences can be seen below. If you want something else, email me and I’ll try to arrange it for you.

CHINATOWN & HUALAMPHONG STATION

This tour kicks off at Bangkok’s historic Hualamphong Railway Station, still open at time of writing and a mecca for photographers with its beautiful architecture, mix of characters, and superb light! We then head to Chinatown where we’ll spend a couple of hours visiting hidden-away temples, back street markets, food stalls and much, much more.

LIFE IN KHLONG TOEY

Khlong Toey is Bangkok’s dockside district, a rough & ready working class neighbourhood in the heart of the city, whose friendly residents belie its tough reputation. Our tour begins at Khlong Toey market, the biggest food market in Bangkok and the place where most of the city’s restaurants buy their produce. We then move onto the Khlong Toey “slum”, a warren of narrow alleyways and tiny houses that are a street photographer’s dream.

FLOWERS OF BANGKOK *NEW FOR 2024*

A brand new tour, Flowers of Bangkok takes you through the old city starting at spectacular Pak Khlong flower market, a riot of colour and action. We then pass through historic temples, one of Bangkok’s hidden parks, and an historic street market, before visiting some photogenic Buddha statue workshops.
