This journey through photos will take you from Chiang Mai Gate to Chang Phuak Gate via Loi Kroh Road to Ratpakinai Road, from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
When you arrive in an unknown city you seem to spend much of your time getting lost amongst forgettable buildings and districts whose names you can’t pronounce.
When I arrived in Chiang Mai two weeks ago, I decided to take a camera out and just get lost, not really at the standard sights, just in the lanes and streets of the city. I did this only at night, and early in the morning. Here’s what I came up with:
Food stall at Thapae Gate.
Bright billboard looming over the street.
Follow the white lines.
An empty moat road.
Watching TV through a dirty window.
Late night haircut.
Looking up at the moon.
Closing time.
When in Thailand.
Getting a tuk-tuk.
Cleaning up after hours.
Getting out of it – the club.
Tourists in love.
Getting home.
.
The club after hours.
Sleeping where you can.
Thankfully it was quiet.
Early morning opening.
The markets start early.
Pigs, a lot of pigs.
When you’re sleeping, they clean.
Almost open.
