Because you can always go back to the same spot again. Furthermore, you know where to buy films if they … [Read more…]

Maeklong Railway Market Today we decided to go to Maeklong Railway Market. It’s the famous market alongside the train track where the stall owners will pack up swiftly before the train passes by.

Minimalist packing list for 5D4N to Bangkok

January 13, 2017 by filmbasedtraveler Leave a Comment

When you go travel, do you pack a lot of things as if you are migrating or pack minimal? I belong to the latter. Hong Kong (Dec 2016) was my second travel trip after I started film photography and this blog. For my first trip, I brought with me my then dSLR Nikon D3300, an … [Read more…]
