Abandoned, Derelict, Decaying Locations Around Thailand

Looks like we’re gonna be delayed !!

Below are images from few locations I've recently documented with links to the series' & descriptions if anyone's interested.  Apologies for exceeding the 3 picture/post limit.

 

1 - The Grand Ayudhaya Hotel on Ratchada in Bangkok, across from the (defunct) Poseidon entertainment complex.

 

2 - I revisted the Batman club in Pattaya & found a room where someone is sleeping.  I like the creative decor, making use of discarded spraypaint cans.

 

3 - A vast derelict apartment complex in Samut Prakarn, a leftover of the Tomyumgoong crisis.

 

4 - An abandoned lacquer factory in Mahachai, Samut Sakhon.

I think there's a video somewhere of some guy trying to sneak into this.

 

All great places to bring a date, of course!

Nice shot, the Jittapawan pier is one of my favorite places to shoot!  I was actually there Sunday before last (some pictures below) and discovered a beautiful old tree inside the abandoned building next to the pier.  Actually a bit of research on the location earlier this year and wrote a pictorial for Stuff New Zealand, it's a truly unique place & interesting to see all of the different perspectives from various photographers who take pictures there.

@diznax: Easy to go there and nice to look. But hen i did the nightshots they lock the steeldoor and must climb :-)

Yes, i think this the name of the temple.

 

Abandoned windfarm. The rotors running out of control.

This is an abandoned resort that we scouted today outside of Chiang Mai, will revisit tomorrow to document it completely.  It seems to have never been opened, possibly another victim of the '97 TomYumGoong financial crisis.  We also checked out an abandoned women's prison and another site which I'll return to tomorrow to try & to document fully.

I shot the abandoned prison in Chiangmai this week over a period of 3 days.  The full series of images with historical details is here on my site for anybody who's interested.  Will send this out to publications next month to hopefully get another feature.  Had a pretty creepy experience there with a dark shadow over 6 straight images that I haven't been able to get explanations for in photography forums.  It's a highly interesting but slightly creepy place.  Thanks for viewing.

Dredger is what I was thinking also

These are some shots taken with my new (registered) drone at the abandoned apartment complex just outside of Bangkok.  I shot a series there a few months ago, but returned with the drone to get the full perspective, as it really is a sprawling location.  There are 45 numbered buildings that look to have been completed, with the foundations of a dozen or so more left when the project was abandoned.  The full series is here.  I also have video footage but have yet to upload it anywhere.

This is unbelievable ....

 

Thanks for posting.
