Thai Traditional Medicine

Check out the latest feature I photographed for Sawasdee Magazine, Thai Airways International’s in-flight publication. Lots of great information on Thai traditional medicine. We visited two traditional pharmacies in Bangkok, Mowaan and Sa-nguan Osot, as well as the main hospital for traditional healing in Thailand, Abhai Bhubejr in Prachinburi town.

Celebrity Chef Chumpol Jangprai

Recently I had the pleasure (and honour) to photograph Thailand’s Iron Chef Chumpol Jangprai for a magazine client. The shooting took place at chef Chumpol’s new venture, Siam Wisdom, a cosy place set in a traditional Thai house right in the centre of Bangkok.

Anti-government demonstrations in Thailand

For the past two months anti-government demonstrations have rocked the Thai capital Bangkok. What started as a peaceful protest to block a controversial anti-amnesty bill has now become what many academics and political commentators consider an anti-democratic effort to oust the current government and reform the country. Here is a selection of images I took in the past few weeks.

Marta and Darek’s wedding in Bangkok

A very original wedding for Marta and Darek in Bangkok, which took us to the old Chinatown, the canals on the Thonburi side of the city, Lumphini Park and finally the rooftop restaurant at Cloud 47. Congratulations!

Thailand launch of new Manfrotto 190 tripod series

Thanks to Manfrotto’s brand manager Simone Grisenti and Manfrotto Thailand I got the chance to preview their new 190 tripod series.
All considered it seems a well thought and designed product and I like that you are able to choose between a 3 section version for extra rigidity and a 4 section option for extra portability. Also great is a link that lets you attach accessories such as an off-camera flash or reflectors directly to the tripod. Considering an upgrade!
