I will be going back to the Philippines mid November through early December! During that time I will be traveling with my family to Thailand to cheer on my dad as he participates in Ironman Phuket. So stoked for this trip! Last time I went it was dry season, so everything will be lush and green this time around. This time I won't hold back with taking photos! I feel like last time I restrained myself from taking many photos.

Here. Have a photo. Its from my last trip.

Hey cool you are going to Thailand! A co-worker of mine just got back from there; she brought back some funky candies that were sweet,salty, sour and spicy...

I really like the photo.. the perspective is great.

I hope you have a great time!!!
Do you have any room for me in your luggage?
And no need to restrain yourself on photos with digital!!!
Not like you have a 24 roll

Thank you Chan. I am not sure what to expect from Thailand, I'm sure it will be an awesome experience.





It wasn't a matter of digital or film that held me back Marie. When I was there I wasn't totally comfortable taking photos of the people or what they live like day to day. I thought it may offend them or something... I dunno, I just had a problem with it. Plus at times I was too busy taking it all in rather than pushing the shutter, it was quite a culture shock. Now that I know what to expect things will be different. Sadly, if I had any room in my luggage, my parents will be taking up that space. Because they live in the Philippines and can't get certain things, I am sure I will take at least two large suitcases full of stuff that they need.

Oh I imagine you will have a really good time there

nice!

Thailand's awesome, I was in Bangkok and Ko Samui last year, as you say, major culture shock, but a beautiful place.

If you don't mind me asking... Assuming you took camera equipment, what did you pack around with you?

Nikon D50, Olympus Trip, some Velvia and some Ilford Delta 100.
