A Trip to Taiwan

Asia — Taiwan

In Thailand, school is out for March and April. That’s also when the burning season begins. During this smoky time when the farmers light dry vegetation on fire to clear the path for more crops, it’s best to just go away. Our city, Chiang Mai, is especially bad as it’s surrounded by mountain ranges which prevent winds from carrying the orange smoulder away.

From Chiang Mai to Chumphon, Day One

Day One

Back in 2014, I didn’t yet have a full-time job. Feeling particularly adventurous I decided to take advantage of my wide-open schedule and embark on a trip to the central province of Prachuap Khiri Khan, where my friend lived. This would be the first journey that I’d do on my own, and the first one with a film camera.

From Chiang Mai to Chumphon

Riding Steel Along Northern Thai Roads

After twenty minutes of washing, soaping, and wiping the bike is ready again to be enveloped by the highway dust. During the past year-and-a-half it took me to Lao and Myanmar borders, Pai, Chiang Dao, Buatong Waterfalls, Suthep mountain, and all over Chiang Mai.

Soi Dogs

Of Chiang Mai

Half domesticated and half feral, these mutts can be found sauntering narrow alleyways or napping on patches of shady concrete. Their joints are bald and shiny from habitually sitting on hard surfaces. Their coats are matt, sometimes mangy, and always covered by a layer of dust.

Tropical Fruits

And Their Secrets

I saw my first pineapple bloom under a shade behind a temple in Chiang Dao. Along with its fruiting spiny brothers, it was firmly attached to a thick shoot, stretching upwards three feet from the ground. Having discovered its alluring and unexpected origins sparked an infatuation with finding and photographing the unique, often unknown moments in the life of tropical fruits.

Isaan, On a Cloud

We are surrounded by life in, perhaps, one of its most pleasing forms. Doi Suthep. Doi Suthep shades a small, northern Thai city from the last hour of tropical sunshine. Once the daylight fades, a single glowing dot remains floating in the void of darkness, marking the spot of the mountain-top temple.

Rain

Isan, Thailand

It’s always warm. The sun is out daily even in the wet season and there’s very little wind, except for a few minutes just before the rain. Then, the palm trees and the tall grass underneath bend slightly from soft gusts of air. The dust whirls up from asphalt roads, smudged with dry, red clay.

Chiang Mai

Home

Within the eight-hundred-year-old crumbling walls, at the foot of Suthep mountain lies Chiang Mai. The city has outgrown its fort-like confinements many years ago, spreading far beyond the square perimeter that could be crossed afoot in thirty minutes.

Climbing The Furnace

A Day at Chiang Mai’s Famed Crazy Horse Crag

 He screams; the lactic acid in his extremities is punishing his nervous system, he pushes back. There are only a few moves left. Before long he throws his arm towards the last piece of uneven limestone and clips his final anchor bolts. “Take! ” — Maew tightens the rope and he lets go of the rock.
