Sneaking into a 5 Star Resort - Khao Kho Thailand

in #photofeed7 years ago

We were sat in the car and had just left some stunning mountainside views and artistic wonders of some local temples, when my sister-in-law said we were going to a resort. I wasn't too pleased at the prospect of this, why would you want to visit a resort you're not staying at? Well that all came to light when we arrived.

As we arrived this place looked pretty spectacular and turned out to be a top location to do some photography. We walked straight past the reception as if we were guests and nobody questioned us. We had passed the first test and were free to wonder around. There were many others around, especially couples with lots of men acting as photographers, pursuing to please their girlfriends with that perfect capture. I did wonder if they were also impostors as we were, or patrons of this European, architectural impostor. At least the most significant element of this adventure was on the same wave length as we were. Anyhow we spent plenty of currency within their restaurant afterwards and my very non-Thai burger was worth every penny.

There were five of us sneaking around the grounds like ninjas, all capturing magical moments from the setting of our new friend, the pretender of the mountains. I took quite a lot of shots at this location and picked out a few of my favourite which came out the best from my Fuji compact camera.

Im looking at those mountains in the background and wondering how i could get up there lol

These are cool photos, but the context of sneaking around like ninjas makes them even cooler I think. Nice story!

Thanks, it turned out to be a cool place, I didn't think it would be, but I was surprised by this place!

Hey, it's got 5 stars, right? Pretty sure that means it has to be cool.

It should be, just thought it was a weird choice of place to visit, I should never underestimate my sister-in-law's choices!
