Sessions start at 9,000 THB ($275) with 100-200 professionally edited images delivered within 5 days.
Every Journey Tells a Story Worth Preserving
Adventures Captured – In Their Own Words
Ananya Deshmukh
Ceramics Artist
Lukfoto showed us Bangkok beyond the tourist spots. Our photographer guided us through narrow alleys in Chinatown and took us to a hidden rooftop overlooking the city at sunset. The photos captured moments we didn’t even notice happening. These images remind us why we love exploring new cities together.
Théo Rousseau
Sommelier
I travel solo often but wanted professional photos for once. The photographer knew exactly where golden hour light hits the temple walls and which cafes have the best backgrounds. No awkward posing, just natural shots of me actually experiencing Bangkok. Already planning my next trip back.
Khalid Al-Rashid
Architectural Conservator
My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary in Bangkok. The photographer took us to spots we would never have found alone—a garden restaurant where tree roots grow through the floor, the flower market in late afternoon. The photos feel cinematic but authentic. We’ve already printed several for our home.

Why We’re Different
We live in Bangkok. We’ve spent years learning which alley in Chinatown frames neon signs perfectly, where afternoon light hits old wooden shutters just right, and how to navigate residential canal routes tourists rarely access.
Our work has appeared in international travel photography publications, but what matters more is that we shoot here every week. Booking is simple: Message us with your dates, choose your session, pay deposit securely online.
Completely Private Sessions
No other clients. No strangers interrupting your moments. Longer sessions include private transportation. We navigate you safely through local markets while you focus on your holiday.
Travel Tips: Location Matters
Stay central. The old town area around Rattanakosin Island puts you close to attractions during your travel photoshoot. Skip expat zones like Nana, Thong Lo, Ekkamai, or Huai Khwang. Traffic can eat two hours of your day.
Getting Around
Cheapest: Bolt. Most fun: Tuktuks (100-400 baht). Fastest: Motorbike taxis. Just confirm your insurance covers you.
Markets Beyond the Tourist Circuit
Pak Khlong Talat operates 24 hours. Wholesalers sort blooms by the thousands during pre-dawn hours when colors and textures create natural compositions.
Chatuchak Night Market transforms into a street photography playground after sunset. String lights create natural rim lighting.
Hidden Corners Worth Finding
Ram Buttri Alley connects backpacker energy with local Thai life. Your vacation photos capture authentic interaction. Rot Fai Park offers an escape where families rent bicycles. Early evening brings the best light for family and group photos.
Cafes That Double as Photo Studios
- Bubble in the Forest Cafe surrounds you with tropical plants, ideal for a honeymoon photoshoot
- After the Rain Coffee and Gallery rotates art exhibitions in minimalist interiors
- The Bunny’s Hut Cafe brings pastel colors and rabbit themes
- Rama 8 cafe positions you overlooking the suspension bridge
Restaurants with Design Worth Photographing
Tsai Eatery serves Taiwanese cuisine where afternoon light floods through windows. Baan Suan Sathron hides a garden restaurant where tree roots grow through the floor. Perfect for a couple photo session.
Chinatown’s Evolving Character
Lhong Tou Cafe at Yaowarat occupies a restored Chinese mansion where red lanterns cast warm shadows across antique furniture. Wallflowers Upstairs delivers panoramic views when neon signs flicker on. Quilin Tea House serves traditional tea ceremonies that create a natural photo tour experience.
Neighborhoods Most Recommendations Miss
Song Wat Road represents old Bangkok meeting new creative energy. Renovated 1920s shophouses now host galleries and cocktail bars like Fo Sho Bro and Cataleya Estate.
We’re constantly scouting less known locations. This article about places to go in Bangkok goes beyond generic lists. Real exploration happens when you dig deeper.
Perspective from the Water
Book a canal cruise departing near Wat Paknam. Long-tail boats navigate residential waterways where houses on stilts lean over murky water. This photo walk happens from a boat.
Shopping and Local Style
Terminal 21 Rama 3 themes each floor as a different world city. Grab elephant pants from any market — comfortable for long days and fun for your trip photos.

Lesser-Known Cultural Experiences
The Ancient City recreates Thailand’s architectural heritage at one-third scale across 200 acres. Unlike the crowded Grand Palace, you can spend hours here with space to breathe.
The Erawan Museum houses three-headed elephant sculptures. Jim Thompson House Museum tells the story of the American silk entrepreneur who disappeared mysteriously.
Rent a traditional Thai costume for shots that connect you to local heritage. Silk garments photograph incredibly well against temple walls, creating landscape gallery worthy compositions.
Making the Most of Your Time
Five days barely scratches the surface. A week lets you dig into specific neighborhoods. Mix structured photo tours with spontaneous wandering. Schedule sessions during optimal light, then explore markets between shoots.
