An essential guide for travel photography in the world's most visited city
What people are saying
Bangkok is extremely photogenic: futuristic cityscapes buzzed by traffic light trails, spider web–like bridges and serene Buddhist temples. Tarik Abdel-Monem’s excellent guide to photographing the city will take you to many known and not-so known spots. Follow his advice and you’ll have an adventure worth a thousand words and an equal number of photographs.
China Williams, Lonely Planet author for “Thailand” and “Southeast Asia”.
In “Photographing Bangkok” Tarik Abdel-Monem captures striking images of the quieter, darker side of a metropolis better known for happy chaos. With striking symmetry and a dramatic play of colors, the surreally subdued settings, free of people, exude imaginative emptiness, in scenes highlighting elegant architecture, placid River of Kings and empty highway that draw you all the way in.

An amazing visual tour of places and panoramas. “Photographing Bangkok” is an essential place to start for photographers visiting Bangkok.
Nicoleh Radenahmad, Outstanding Thai Artist of the Year (2001).
This book that Tarik has so thoughtfully compiled and shared with the world is not only a practical guide for traveling photographers, but also an amazing resource for every tourist and visitor to Bangkok. The places he showcases include not only some of the most famous landmarks in the city, but also off the beaten path sites that allow photographers and tourists alike to see and experience the essence of Bangkok and of Thailand.
