Photography Tips For Chiang Mai, Thailand

As a temporary resident of Chiang Mai, I am amazed to see the number of world renown photographers holding workshops here. I realized I must take advantage of this situation and share some of the sites I like to visit to photograph:

Favorites:

  • Wat Chedi Luang
  • Wat Phantao (candle light meditation the night of major buddhist holidays)
  • Wat Srisusphan (the silver Temple)
  • Wat Suan Dok
  • Wat Suthep (at night)
  • Buddhist monks at 06:00 for the morning alms round
  • Terra Cotta Garden
  • Elephant Camps
  • Muay Thai practice
  • Katoey Cabaret
  • Chiang Mai Walking Street : Every Sunday from 18:00 – 22:30 aprox. If you want to avoid the crowds go at 17:00 when the stands are setting up
