C&N Assignment 1 Initial Contacts

 

Over a period of 3 days, I took a wander around Pattaya to capture images that I thought fell into the 2 rough pigeons holes – the tourist side and the local side.

Without doubt, Pattaya is one of the most famous holiday resorts in the world but it is home to thousands of local Thai people and to expats who to them a day in Pattaya is just a normal day. For this assignment to want to show the difference between and how the particularly the Thai side of local life blends with the tourist.

Currently, it is low season in Pattaya so there is a tinge of sadness about the place many of the restaurants, bars and beaches have a deserted feel to them as do many seaside towns in the UK in the winter – although it is not winter but rainy season here.
