Street Photography Walk in Bangkok
Posting images the next day is insane for me. Too quick. Too many details are unnoticed. But I want this insanity to become routine.
I want to have a quick flow "street - camera - Hive" without much attachment to separate pictures, without much reflection about some of them. That brings chaos and no much use. Feeling of being dynamic gives more than meticulous editing.
That pointing hand in the image, much character in it, I love it - a bossy woman commands to give her an oyster. The seafood looks, that's true, quite tempting.
I started my yesterday street photography hunt with a visit of Bang Rak:
A pretty girl in the frame is always an advantage. These stairs and bridges in the area are fun, and, it looks, I at last managed to include them well in the frame... Well, right, or not so well? 🙂
However, it was a sort of too hot, and I felt sluggish and even tired. Had a hot coffee from a convenience store chilling out, like a free person, at the stairs of another faceless business tower.
Hua Lamphong train station was the next, just a bus ride from Bang Rak:
Sometimes, it takes forever to wait for someone to cross the frame.
Good to see that backpackers still exist. I was upset by this mug of coffee on the ad, but now I think - it's ok.
It was getting dark and I quickly relocated to Yaowarat Street hoping to benefit from its lights and colors.
An arriving backpacker in search of the hotel in the thick of things. After shower, if not too tired, he'll excitedly go out to join the colorful crowd... To treat himself an octopus ot two?
Yaowarat Street has a lot to offer.
A meal made of shark fins, for example.
A healthy mix of local tradition (Thai, Thai Chinese) and tourism, I love this area.
Look, they even have no name of their food in Latin (but, at least, you can choose the size).
I saw this place with a plain gas stove, a wok, and these plastic curtains in 2019 and, probably, before. Sometimes what looks temporary is the most permanent. Isn't that very Taoist?
That boy, unlike some other characters, wanted to be photographed. He ran into the frame when he noticed I was focusing on these green shutters - I was doing this for purpose, was waiting for him to run into the frame - I felt he wanted it.
Looking back, taking a cityscape for good memories, hurrying to a bus station to get on a late bus back to southern outskirts of Bangkok...

I took these images with a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 and some with a Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 on a full-frame DSLR Nikon D750 on February 8, 2023 in Bangkok, Thailand

What a beautiful street photography soots, u really shows how busy is the live in that city, but it also have many beautifuls city landscapes
Gracias! I am lucky to be in Bangkok, an amazing city.
very nice photos I enjoyed reading your article
Thank you! 🙂
You're welcome
Beautiful street photography! The crowded and vibrant Bangkok's Chinatown at Yaowarat is always a good location for a photo shoot.
That's very true. What I like about Bangkok's Chinatown is that it is more than just Yaowarat and food alleys around. There are many corners (old, shabby, charming) there to photograph including surrounding of Hua Lamphong Train station.
vivid and peculiar place - and the photographs are well documenting it!
Yes, the area is cool for street photography, going back there from time to time. Thank you!
I love reading your Bangkok stories and your photos are awesome. So much can be seen there.
I am going to Bangkok in April. If will be very short visit for my son's wedding, who lives there.
I hardly will have time for sightseeing, but will try to use the most of the time collecting memories with my camera.
Thank you! :) It's pity you have not much time for Thailand, much can be seen here, yes.
I guess you are going to spend your time with the family but, if you are free at some point, we can have a walk somewhere in Bangkok. But I am going to travel outside of Bangkok on 10-17 April.
Actually this will be my second visit. I was there three years ago. It was a memorable trip. 🙂
Bangkok is a great city to explote, but I loved the most the small secluded Koh Lipe, where we spent few days.
This time it will be about the happy event and I will be pretty busy with the family and just when you are going to be outside Bangkok. Sadly I could not stay longer.
This is because these days are holidays which serve as the vacation time for many Thais - convenient for a wedding or for a trip like in my case.
We are thinking about Koh Lipe for the April trip :) Let's see, I'll research how expensive this trip can be.
I was in Akira hotel in Koh Lipe and I recommend it. It was a rather long trip from Bangkok. First on plane, than a van and finally a speed boat. But it was worth. 🙂 All was organized by my son's girlfriend and I had no clue how much it costed then. Prices now must be different.
