A Photographer’s
Guide to Thailand
The most unique shots in Thailand and
where to get them
Thailand may be a country that’s often visited by
tourists, but there are many special places that
most visitors miss – uncrowded places that are
ideal for photographers. With an infrastructure
that makes travelling in the country easy and an
economy that allows for a lot of fun, Thailand is
the perfect place to spend a few weeks without
spending too much money and experience things
that you’ve never experienced before. Here are our
top 3 photography destinations in Thailand.
Koh Tao
There are many islands to visit in Thailand, most
more popular than Turtle Island, or Koh Tao,
but none are more gorgeous than this small
island paradise on the Chumphon archipelago.
While hundreds of thousands of tourists visit its
neighbour, Koh Pha Ngan, every year, Koh Tao
remains mostly populated by native Thai people
and divers that come to take advantage of the
area’s crystal clear waters and cheap rates. They
also come with the knowledge that they might see
a whale shark, or even some of the turtles that give
the island its name.
With such a population, it’s no surprise that Koh
Tao is relaxed and near-pristine. Without the tourist
culture of Koh Samui and the rowdy backpackers
of Koh Pha Ngan, Koh Tao is one of those places
where time just slips by. Photographers with GoPro
cameras or underwater housing will find so much
to shoot in the clear waters of this island that they’ll
never want to leave.
