Hear they have beer there. places to visit for pics: Nana Hotel parking lot, outside Nana Hotel, across from Nana Entertainment Plaza. Beats the circus anyday! You can tell all the folks about your 300 meter holiday- flew 10,000 km., never ventured more than 300 m from hotal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 If you want to sell pics, try to find places besides the main tourist areas. Lots of pics of them available already. So some possibilities: 1. Kanchanaburi -- bridge over the Kwae Noi (River Kwai). Often photographed, but the rows after rows of graves can still tear you up and might sell to vets' mags. 2. Lopburi -- a former capital, not as photographed as Ayutthaya (the best known former capital) and an easy trip from Bangkok. 3. The military museums in Bangkok ... rare aircraft, WWII tanks etc. Again maybe a market for military and vets' mags. 4. The Royal Thai Railway trains and stations ... great for train buffs. 5. Older parts of Bangkok, with scenes which are vanishing ... the old wooden buildings, quiet tree-lined streets, Chinatown etc. Bangkok becomes more and more a concrete monstrosity every day. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Encore Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Hmm, on my first trip I also was a semi pro photographer, who didn't come for the ladies. But they soon took me in hand, and made sure I got my priorities right. Now I'm still a semi pro photographer, but come to LOS largely for the ladies. Anyone can change their mind, even you.

radioman Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 I met a nice girl in the Soi 7 beer garden a while back, she said she was a semi pro, don't think she knew much about photography though. I think she was a nurse in her spare time. Cute girl but all of 4 foot something and looked about 32 going on 15. Cheers, M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
