Great matchPhu Phrabat
- Best time
- Best time: Early morning, when the light comes sideways through the trees onto the mushroom rocks and the forest is still cool â this is a walking site and by eleven you will not want to be on it
- Best angle
- Best angle: Low beneath an overhanging rock so the impossible balance of the cap on its stem is the frame, with a sema stone or a person for scale
Ban Chiang
- Best time
- Best time: Late morning at the open pit at Wat Pho Si Nai, when the sun is high enough to reach into the excavation â the museum interior is lit for objects rather than for cameras
- Best angle
- Best angle: Down into the excavation pit along its length so the pots and burials recede, rather than a single skeleton; in the museum, the painted pottery against its dark case
Nong Prajak Park
- Best time
- Best time: The hour before sunset, when the light is across the water and the city comes out to walk â and at dawn, when the mist is on the lake and the exercise groups are out
- Best angle
- Best angle: From the white bridge along the water's edge, with the duck in the middle distance rather than filling the frame
Wear it well
