  1. These pictures aren't from Thailand, but very close. I drove from BKK & through northern Malaysia on an abandoned site road trip in July & checked out 17 locations. Though I'd share a few pictures: a derelict jungle resort, 1930's mansion in Penang, former leper colony and shopping mall. I also wrote a photo essay about the experience for the Guardian, discussing the interest in abandoned sites and what draws us to them.
  2. Those who pass through Cha-am are likely familiar with this long-closed dinosaur-themed crocodile (and snake?) farm on the side of the highway. I'd never heard of it but saw it while driving down to Malaysia & had to do a U-turn. I read that the snakes 'escaped' into the local area when the farm closed.
  3. Abandoned hospital, Bangkok. Full series is here.
  4. Haven't posted here in a while! Below are a few pictures from some places I've explored over the past 8 months or so. A village (the black & whites), a large temple project, a BMX track, a beachside resort & condo and a restaurant. Also, if anyone is interested in the history of the Ghost Tower (Sathorn Unique), this is an excellent documentary done by my friend Dana. He interviewed me at the end regarding urban exploration photography, but more interestingly he interviewed Thai economists and a number of individuals familiar with the history of the building. It's very well made and thorough & provides an in-depth analysis of what happened with this particular building and a better understanding of what happened to many other building projects which were unfinished due to the 'Tomyumgoong' financial crisis of 1997.
  5. Excellent information, thank you ????????
  6. It's been domolished for a few years now I believe
  7. Hello, I've been working on documenting disused/abandoned structures around Thailand for the past year or so via photo series', and am always on the lookout for new subjects. There are a seemingly endless number of such locations around the country, and each one has it's own unique character and usually some beauty to be found amongst the decay and ruin. I've started this topic both as a means for us to share locations of unique abandoned places around the country, and for forum members to share images that convey their perspective of these places. I look forward to seeing others' images and of hearing their experiences. Please include any key info about the sites including local directions(drop a Google Maps pin if you can) or possible dangers/trespassing need-to-know's, as we certainly don't want anyone to get in any trouble by visiting guarded private property. * Please note that the Sathorn Unique 'ghost tower' is, as of the time of writing, off limits & blocked off via fence, with threats of prosecution to trespassers. Also, it's well-known and documented. It would be great to use this forum as a means to share lesser-known derelict locations around the country. I'll start with a few directions to some sites I've either discovered or heard about and visited - Abandoned train cars in Samut Sakhon - Their Location Abandoned Batman Nightclub Pattaya - Location Airplane Graveyard in Bangkok - Location Abandoned Jittapawan College Pier - Location Abandoned Mansions in Nakhon Pathom - This site is inhabited by two families and they have requested for me not to share their location so as to avoid masses of tourists. Apologies.
