“This is Thailand too” is a project started by a Thai photographer, Chut Janthachotibutr, to showcase the diverse beauty and culture of Thailand beyond the typical tourist spots. The project aims to highlight the lesser-known and underappreciated aspects of the country, such as its rural landscapes, local communities, and traditional ways of living.
Through his stunning photographs, Chut captures the essence of Thailand’s natural beauty, from the lush greenery of the countryside to the intricate architecture of ancient temples. He also focuses on the people of Thailand, portraying their daily lives, traditions, and customs.
Chut’s images challenge the stereotypical perceptions of Thailand as only a tourist destination with exotic beaches and bustling cities. Instead, he showcases the country’s rich cultural heritage and the resilience of its people in the face of modernization and globalization.
The project serves as a reminder to both locals and visitors that Thailand is more than just a picturesque vacation spot – it is a place with deep roots, vibrant communities, and a wealth of untold stories. By shedding light on these lesser-known aspects of the country, “This is Thailand too” seeks to promote a greater appreciation for its diverse beauty and heritage.
