Google search trend for Bangkok Tour

Michiel — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 03:01:25 +0000

While doing keyword research for search engine optimizing of my website BKK Tours and this site, BKK Photography, I was looking at the trend of the keywords Bangkok Tour.

It is clearly seen that the trend is down at the moment, with the political unrest here in April and May people unfortunately start to look elsewhere. Good news is that the demonstrations and unrest have ended and Bangkok is peaceful again. Hopefully things keep stable. With a local guide, who knows his way around and is up to date with the local news, it was easy to avoid avoid the hotspots. The hotspots have disappeared, but if you feel more secure it may be a good idea to have a local guide showing you around.

Thailand and Bangkok have some great places to be discovered and beautiful people to be met. A large group of Thai people depend on the tourist business, please join us, and others, to have a wonderful Thai experience again with our custom made photo tours. With a local guide, who knows all the good places and avoids the typical tourist problems, you will optimize your result from your valuable trip. With our local rates you will receive personal service at a most reasonable value. Hope to see you soon in beautiful Thailand. Please use the contact form to contact us about the possibilities.

Co van Kessel bicycle tour – TV recordings

Michiel — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 10:02:43 +0000

We had the great honour to be invited to join in the TV recordings for Co van Kessel’s bicycle tour. His famous Bangkok bicycle tour will be shown on local TV soon. He was the first to organize bicycle tours in Bangkok. I owe him a lot of credit, I met my wife Air on this tour when she was working as a tour guide for his tour.

It was a great day on a bicycle in the hot season. Temperatures up to 36, but on the bike that’s no problem. This tour is great for photography of local people and their lifestyle.

Lop Buri, Monkey temple

Michiel — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 16:42:41 +0000

We were heading to Wat Tan En, north of Ayutthaya, in Bangpahan district. The plan was to photograph flying foxes that are resident in this temple. However the local monks had decided to trim the trees and all the flying foxes were gone. As an alternative destination we choose Wat Phra Prang Sam Yod in the town of Lop Buri. Another temple where animals are the permanent residents, here many monkeys stay at the temple ruins. The change in plans made it a fun day out for photography. Driving time from Bangkok is less then 2 hours.

Phra Prang Sam Yot is Lop Buris best known landmark and provincial symbol. A former Hindu Shrine built in the 13th century in the classic Bayon style of Khmer architecture, the compound comprises three prangs (towers) linked by a corridor. The three laterite and sandstone spires decorated with classic stucco are believed to have originally represented the Hindu Trimurti; Brahman (the creator), Vishnu (the preserver) and Siva (the destroyer).

Bangkok Old City photo tour

Michiel — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 04:32:49 +0000

Experience the heart of Old Siam: Rattanakosin island, the historical center of Bangkok. Most visitors to the city will never experience this part as many of these sites lie outside the regular tourist circuit. It has a great charm with many old buildings, fine temples and workshops where Buddha images are made. It is one of the favorite places to stroll around with our special photo tours.

Chinatown Photo tour

A walking tour in Chinatown is one of the tours that is highly recommend for photographers visiting Bangkok. It is a walking tour for a great experience in vibrant Chinatown. Many small alleys are part of the Chinatown maze. Walking gives the great opportunity to discover many hidden treasures. Local markets, peoples houses, chat with the local people, view the local businesses, this is a great experience that you will never forget. This tour can be organized during day and evening.
