C&N Assignment 1: further edit.
From the original set of images, I have further split the images into 3 sets of contact sheets. These contact sheets cover 3 main area I think of when i think of when i think of the demographic of Pattaya.
The expat (or long-term foreign resident).
You would normally associate expat as living a working in a country other than your own, perhaps as a teacher or executive. However, the expats are more financial refuges – retired / semi-retired making use of the very low cost of living.
Tourists
Short term visitors on tours from their own country, majorly India and Mainland China. A lot of these guys have the days organised for them and they ushered around in groups although there are some independent souls.
Locals
Thai’s living and working in the Pattaya area many of which are economic migrants from poorer areas of the country and whilst they are going about there day to day lives, their lives are tied to the tourists and expats
What I am looking for here are images that mirror or illustrate how life is different for these groups.
