Krabi Thailand @ Grit Wattanapruek

 Krabi Thailand @  Grit Wattanapruek 

I have seen some unique photos from Grit Wattanapruek who showed the better side of the seascapes and culture in Krabi Province, the different way of living, the food, and the prosperity of the Southern Thailand. His photos are outstanding. I followed his work which reflects his intention and eagerness to change the image of TAT (Tourism Authority of Thailand) I had no hesitation to connect with him immediately and I found that he had his own unique point of view in his photography as visual artists have in their painting.

One of my duties is taking photos to be used in the media or advertising in the tourism market. I captures images of many festivals, traditions and tourist attractions from the actual experience, natural lighting, weather and atmosphere from true locations. Anyone who sees these pictures will definitely want to see with their own eyes. Truthfully, some people may be disappointed with the location which is sometimes not as beautiful as in the photograph. These are only techniques of photography and do not reflect any drastic change in atmosphere and environment. We try to take photos from many perspectives to show attractive\ differences so that many people might want to visit again. 

ฟ้ายังสวย #ลานปูดำ #กระบี่ เที่ยวกระบี่สุขใจอีกครั้ง

Actually, there are plenty of professional photographers who can take very beautiful and valuable photos. Comparing their pictures with some of mine, it is clear that their pictures are superior in all respects but at least my pictures can create the motivation to travel to the actual place. They might tell their relatives and friends to visit those place too. I am just happy that my photos are seen by many and remain useful.

Krabi (Thai: กระบี่, pronounced ) is the main town in the province of Krabi (thesaban mueang) on the west coast of southern Thailand at the mouth of the Krabi River where it empties in Phang Nga Bay. As of 2010 the town had a population of 52,867. The town is the capital of Krabi Province and Krabi District. Tourism is an important industry. Krabi is 783 km south of Bangkok by road.

Much of the province has been given over to several national parks. Top destinations are Hat Noppharat Thara - Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park, Ao Nang, Railay, and Ko Phi Phi. The province includes over 80 smaller islands such as Ko Lanta and Phi Phi, well-known to adventurers, yachtsmen, scuba-divers, snorkelers, and day-trippers from Phuket. Krabi's beaches attract both native Thai people and foreigners alike.

Ko Lanta National Park, also in Krabi Province, includes several coral-fringed islands with well-known diving sites. The largest island, Ko Lanta Yai, is the site of park headquarters, and is also home to "Chao Le", or sea gypsies, who sustain themselves largely through fishing. The islands are best visited during the drier months of October through April.

Kayaking, sailing, bird watching, snorkeling are also among top activities. In the interior, two predominantly mainland national parks, Khao Phanom Bencha National Park and Than Bokkhorani, offer inland scenic attractions including waterfalls and caves, and opportunities for trekking, bird watching, and eco-tours.

The rock faces at Railay Beach near Ao Nang have attracted climbers from all over the world and each year are the venue for the Rock and Fire Festival. There are several rock climbing schools at Railay Beach. The rock is limestone and has characteristic pockets, overhangs and faces. Railay has numerous multi-pitch areas most of which start from the beach itself. A famous example is "Humanality". In addition, deep water soloing is popular on the numerous nearby rocky islands accessible by long-tail boat.
