Bangkok Jul 95

While these are not the best photos you'll find on my site. I've put this gallery up to document a very special trip I made in 1995. I was asked to go to Bangkok to visit The Hope of Bangkok Church as representative from the church that I was attending in Perth then, that is Hope of God Perth. This was the first time for me leave Australia and the first time I had travelled on my own.

The Hope of Bangkok Church is the biggest church in Thailand with a membership of 10,000+ people and over 700 daughter churches through out Thailand. The church has also created a number of businesses and charitable organisations to assist people in Thailand. They also support the DUMAS foundation in Thailand with AIDS education.

All of these photos were taken with My Canon Prima which I bought from a duty free store just before heading off on this trip.

I would like to dedicate this gallery to a photographer who puts a lot of soul into his work, Sam Charupakorn
