À propos du livre
The photographs throughout this book are an ode to sight. Prior to my arrival, I had an idealized vision of what living in Thailand would be like. I imagined white sand beaches, monoliths
protruding from turquoise waters, vibrant rainforests and a country that would be a perfect home. It wasn’t until I set foot in Phetchabun, the town I would be residing in for the next 6 months, that the reality of my situation kicked in. Living landlocked in the middle of the country, I was exposed to extreme poverty, a lack of sanitation, harsh weather conditions and a general sense of displacement. It was through this experience that I was able to view Thailand for more than its’ tourist attractions and see the true soul and essence of the country. My original idea for this book was one that would be filled with images of landscapes, but throughout my time away, the
photographs I was taking slowly began to sway in a new direction. I had started documenting how much more there is to a heavily touristed country than what you generally see on postcards and social media. This book is aimed at representing the differences of what you see to what you get,
both internally and externally.
