Visiting Taiwan is like getting on a time machine, whirling back to my childhood. Every snapshot felt looking through the viewfinder as a 10 year old. It’s been three years since I last visited and everything seems to have taken on another light, a nostalgic light that is. I finished over 5 rolls of film and I felt as though only film can capture the essence and the texture of how I feel about this place.

I was in awe walking into the Grand Palace, the architecture, the temples and the model of Cambodia really amazed me. This isn’t like anything I’ve seen before, the elaborate use of gold in wall murals and interiors.
I felt a little bit heartbroken seeing The Grand Palace in water, the entire Bangkok city is now flooded and it’ll probably take at least months for the flood to subside. I am glad that my friends have now evacuated Bangkok and are now on dry land.
My heart goes out to those in need and suffering through the flood, hope Bangkok will be back on its feet again ♥

All shot with Ektar film x Minoltax700
My Bangkok experience was surreal. It almost didn’t feel like traveling but felt like a trip down memory lane seeing familiar faces waiting for me at the airport arrival hall and staying at cozy homes instead of hotels. My trip to Bangkok has been something that we’ve talked about among our class when we were all studying in London together. Coming from a dozen of different countries all in one class, we’ve shared our passion for traveling and promised each other to be the best host when we get the chance to. They took out previous time of their busy working schedule to take us around and let us be a part of their lives hanging out at their favorites places of the city. We dined where the locals ate and shopped where the locals did, there was nothing touristy about the trip except the elephant which will be an entirely different post.
The first day, Kartun took us to the celebration of Buddha สงกรานต์ which is an important day for all Thai. We visited four different temples in the ancient city of Pattaya and followed the crowds as they went about their routine of prayer and praise. I was amazed at the neat queue and peace that filled the room. I loved the smell of freshly cut lotus, it was something I’ve never really experienced before. I felt a real sense of serenity and content being in that particular space. The culture mesmerized me and I had the desire to see and experience everything Bangkok has to offer.
