Touring Northern Thailand is rewarding, especially if you are a photography enthusiast. The lush mountainous countryside and sleepy valleys offer some memorable scenes and vistas. Inhabited for at least 1000 years, the region has a traditional way of life with unique culture, and Northern Thailand and Chiang Mai provide unforgettable pictures from your travels.
Notes on photography in Thailand
Thais love taking pictures and their beloved King is a keen photographer. Often students and Thai tourists may ask you, the foreigner, to pose with them in their pictures - please oblige. Northern Thailand and Chiang Mai in particular offers a rich tapestry for the enthusiast's lens, with plenty of colour, exquisite decoration, stunning natural scenery and graceful people. When taking pictures in Chiang Mai or Thailand, always be mindful of respected objects, such as Buddhas and temple grounds. They may be photographed freely, but do not go trampling all over sacred objects. You can take pictures at will, the locals seldom mind, but it's polite to ask by simply saying 'Thai ruup dai mai krup (male), ka (female)'.
Some shops will display signs saying 'No Photo' and the colourful, but impoverished, hilltribe folk will usually insist on a small donation - 20 baht is a suitable gesture.
