Recommended equipment : A wide-angle (15-16-18mm) for temples and architecture, a 28 or 35mm for street Photography, a fixed medium (50-85) for some environmental portrait of effetto.Il tripod can be useful for temples and other situations.

Best months : The daily life, such as temples and architecture, are always there during the whole year then you can choose the time that there is more comfortable. Keep in mind that from May to October it rains a lot '. So ......

How to get there : Bangkok is well connected by air with all major cities in the world then you are spoiled for choice. December and January are the months in which the flights cost more (high season)

Visits : The entry in the various temples (Standing Buddha, Reclining Buddha etc etc) is free. In sacred sites and archaeological you can get yourself in a taxi, in your tuk and motorbike or you can buy a city tour in one of the many agencies scattered throughout the city center.For experience the floating market tour in dugout Bath costs 150 per person (EUR 4.5), however, the area of ??the market is almost two hours away from the center of Bangkok and to get there you can choose the mini bus, or you buy the tour agenzia.Per regarding street photography instead recommend you find a hotel or a guest house in Khaosan Road or one of the adjacent streets (in this area there are hotels with double rooms very nice and clean, swimming pool, air conditioning and mini bar TA) for figures of around 35 euro night. The guest house are usually cheaper but also less refined and less services. From here onwards (Khaosan Road and surrounding streets) you travel on foot to the streets and alleys full of life and color. Paradise for the reporter and photographer street.

Notes : The city is chaotic and especially the area around Khaosan Road lives practically 24 hours a day. You can eat, shop, drink and dance from 9 am to 5/6 the next morning. The food and varied and interesting. Some people will tell you not to eat cooked food stalls in the street for safety reasons toilet. Do not believe them. You can eat anything and anywhere without problems. Both in restaurants and on the street. If you are not lovers of spicy specify that what you ordered NOT want it spicy. If they tell you it is only slightly spicy rejected. Their "slightly" is equivalent to our "very spicy"! The city is safe enough and if you venture into strange situations not run greater risks than any other metropolis both Asian and European.
