Outtakes from Bangkok
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.
A bird being freed from its cage for 90 Baht. The act of freeing birds is meant to bring good luck – although given this in itself exists as a business

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!
