Outtakes from Bangkok

18 December 2007 One Comment

Posting a few outtakes from when I was in Bangkok for the King’s Cup. Given I was only there for a couple of days, there’s not really a coherent story to these shots – mostly just random "around town" images and a couple more from the event itself.

    Hi Lawrence, this is a great selection of images. I especially like the one with the bird being freed (perfect timing, among others), but also all the others are excellent. With these images, you sketch a very vivid and personal view of the city. Keen to see more!
