Many travellers arrive in Bangkok, the capital and gateway of Thailand, and can’t wait to head to the coastal city of Pattaya for sun and fun. Yet this vibrant metropolis offers plenty to see and do in just 48 hours. The city’s main avenues are abundant with lively street markets and a pulsating energy that captures the essence of Thai life.

Whether you are a hobbyist exploring a new city, a travel blogger looking to share spectacular sights, or a professional photographer, the temples and bustling street life around you are an exciting and varied subject.

Travel photography is the art of capturing how a destination exists in the real world. In doing so, you capture the culture and beauty that the locals share, something that can only be truly appreciated in person.

Our natural environment and local cultures face urgent threats from all sides. Today’s travelers can help advocate for their protection by being responsible tourists and minimizing their environmental impact, both intentionally and unintentionally.

Discover the past
Thailand has a long and rich history, and the best place to learn about it is in the National Museum of Antiquities on Academics Rajabov Street. It’s an attractive neo-classical building with galleries spread across two floors. Ask at the ticket desk for an English speaking guide as not all of the exhibits are labelled.
The highlights of the museum’s collections are the vivid Sogdian wall paintings excavated from Ancient Penjikent (a UNESCO World Heritage Site in western Tajikistan) and also the huge sculpture of a sleeping buddha from the Ajina Tepa monastery.
