“In October 2018, my last international trip to Thailand gave me the opportunity to closely observe and capture the scenic landscapes of Ko Phi Phi, Krabi and Phuket.

Beginning the day by greeting Buddhist monks on the streets and joining them for morning prayers in the famous Dalai Lama Temple… Wandering through the market, sipping hot tea at a roadside stall, reading a book in a quaint little café… Getting adventurous, hiring a bike to go all
