Sunset at Krabi, Thailand

Beautiful Thai Skies

Posted on April 10, 2015April 12, 2021

I am writing this post in a hurry because later tonight I fly out to my favorite country again. I am going to Thailand to attend Songkran, the water festival associated with the Thai New Year. I am super excited. This is my 5th trip to Thailand and I am really grateful to TAT New Delhi for taking me out to Thailand so many times. So, in this post I present you the skies from my previous trips. Now my tally of highest visits to a country is a tie- 5 each for both UK and Thailand! And I hope Thailand soon becomes my most visited country.

As Songkran is a water festival I was wondering how to photograph it. I checked out the net for tips on photographing Songkran. I quickly realized that taking out my SLR was out of question. There is a very high probability that it would meet a watery grave. I so like clicking pictures that I could not dream of doing posts without pictures or using pictures from press release for Songkran. I was in a fix.

And that is when I remembered my XperiaZ3. It is waterproof! So, it is time to check out whether it is Songkran proof or not. I had actually given the camera to my sister so it was easy to pinch it back from her. We swapped the sims. She struggles with a windows phone but the sweet person she is, she has assured me that if I ever need to swap phone again she would be game for it.

I am now armed with a waterproof phone, I am so looking forward to getting drenched this Songkran and get back some stories and pictures for my blog.

I should be getting up now and get ready to leave. See you all from Thailand tomorrow.
