A lot of anticipation lies with the start of a new series, and here, I announce the beginning of one called ‘Notes of Light‘, which will focus on stories I can tell from my camera. This post, the maiden of the series, is dedicated to Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, where I had the good fortune of stopping by during my Indochina expedition in the spring of 2025. I use a Canon EOS 1300D.
The royal palace of Thailand, home to the king, is a worthwhile sight in the capital city of Bangkok. Its architecture is interesting, with vajra – or thunderbolt-like structures – leaping out of all rooftops.The palace, captured in its entirety.The palace offers free bus rides to a theatre up the road, in which the Thai version of the Hindu epic Ramayana is enacted amid much fanfare. The crowd, made up largely of westerners for whom the epic holds little meaning, ended up clapping and asking for ‘encores’ at the end of the show.The emerald Buddha statue, as seen in a temple on the grounds of the royal palace of Thailand in Bangkok.Wat Arun, or the temple of dawn, is located on the western bank of the Chao Phraya river. Here, it is captured as seen from the eastern bank, where also lies the royal palace.
