Bangkok's Best Photography Spots [Season 3, Episode 49]

The guys discuss something of great interest to many of our
listeners - where to take the best photos in Bangkok. Ed begins
by discussing main tourist attractions such as temples; they have
been photographed millions of times, but if you aren't looking
for something unique, Bangkok's disparate temples are a great
place to practice. For something a little out of the way, Ed also
recommends a trip to Ayutthaya for a 'mini-Angkor' experience,
which, while also over-photographed, is something special for the
noobie. Greg chimes in with a vote for Talad Noi, his old
stomping ground, which is filled with odd architecture, abandoned
vehicles, industrial equipment, and a vibe right out of Blade
Runner (especially when it rains).


Ed next points out that Bangkok's skies can provide
dramatic photographs, both at sunup and sundown, and during
storms, (partially due to the air pollution), but who are we to
question where beauty comes from? Greg puts a vote in for
Phahurat (aka Little India), and most especially the gnarled mass
of sois behind a large Sikh temple, amidst other photo ops. Ed
also suggests the back of Benjasiri Park, where some great action
shots can be grabbed of the takraw players there.


To close, a discussion of Bangkok's coolest architecture,
including a few iconic buildings and bridges that lend themselves
to some dramatic vistas.
