Bangkok Travelogue/mapfotoagency.com


Bangkok and NorthEast of Thailand/mapfotoagency.com

This is my first visit and many more to be materialized in the coming years. I will be living between Dhaka and Bangkok for a possible two years as Orla,s office has moved to this comfortable city.
This portfolio is to show the life in the streets and lanes mostly in the city/town centers.
Round the clock people are selling and buying food, flower, vegetable and more.

I now offer my Travel Photography lessons to people who would like to join me in Bangkok.
Come and join me in Bangkok!




Dancers at a temple ceremony.........










Monk at the Buddha Head Market looking for a sign in the miniature chanting........





Fisherman at Ubon Ratchathani.......


At the Laos border.........





















Flower seller at Nonthaburi.........


Lumphini Parak, the green oasis in the city of millions of cars..............







Every family has a favorite monastery to pay a visit.......







China town, the charmer of the old quarter of Bangkok.....








Guard at the flower market..........



You will be accepted as what you are; none will stare at you.......





Vegetable and flower market is full of color but no fragrance as every item is wrapped in plastic.....



A lifetime passed being a porter.....






The flower mafia doesn't care much for the traffic rule..........




















This is a city of wats/monasteries..........


































Offerings to the Buddha..........











Every ceremony ends up with lighting fire-crackers....
















The wizard of a cook at the night market at Ubon Rathathani...........









Frogs for sale.........









A shrine for the dead; a young wife died young and hence the wedding gown is hanged? There was none to find an answer........










Roi Et, the town with tallest Buddha Statue; the break dancers by the city gate; the monks in the early hours begging for food, the humbling act of humanity.......











The early morning; everyone is hungry and ordering food;  food packed in plastic and more plastic to carry; food is carried home to be shared with the family members. It is said that buying is cheaper than cooking at home.












The lottery ticket sellers..........








Weekend happiness is angling at the pier; the Chao Phraya River is dotted with tall buildings.
