Thailand Road Trip 2026 - Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pai Hua Hin, Pattaya
Welcome to "No Tickets Requir'd Show Thailand 2569
Chang Dog will be your host this show. This guy followed me maybe 5 steps no chow dog be gone.
Bangkok first "Daily Draw" This trip sketch more people was emphasis. Things change dramatically when doing over and over
Keeping with the "people vibe" of course nothing in Art has to be perfect. Big head transpo with a side of BKK wire job. Need good connect?
Reclining Buddha by Grand Palace Bangkok. Very large and long big. Elegant.
Each Road Trip takes you to places to explore this one, Soi Cowboy
First ask “may I take pic” at first she was okay then got pretty nasty. Sorry. I was able to get this Daily Draw from what I had to work with. I put in “Bar fine” just cuz she wasn’t the nicest.
Chinese New Year. This young beautiful woman was def having a great time. This is my rendition
Paopao 5yoa friends daughter indicated I needed to do more work on the sandals. Yes after looking at it I did. But this was at a turning point of utilizing more color than before. Sketches now take twice as long sometimes. That’s okay that is called growth.
Karen Long Neck Tribe located outside Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai Gate
Got Tuk Tuk? took took
I know a guy who does great wood work stuff. Need a bench, table or stool I'll hook you up!
No I do not know Thai alphabet & was asked many times if I had a stamp for these. Nope just look at what you are drawing. A lot of the letters are similar but cooler in design and overall look. Can’t you read? Nope but I know many who do.
Tha Phae gate
Great location for accommodation. Lots of stuff happening around this gate otherwise known as East Gate.
Phra Sing Temple
Years ago attempting to sketch some of these temples were pretty overwhelming. But after this last years road trip series with over hundreds of sketches things seem a bit easier. You just gotta put pen to paper
Chiang Mai moat - Moat Smoke daily walkabout
CNX moat is about 1500 meters square so is a good hoof. Go early in the morning very nice walks.
One of the friendliest water buffalos I've ever met. Even cracked a smile when I mentioned hamburger.
"Spool Boys" tell the story of everyday life, someone's always in charge and there's the worker bees. Love this Draw.
Pai - Something like 792 curves or so to get there.
Noom person running this River resort asked why I hadn’t drawn the bamboo bridge yet. Told him no time. So last day while waiting for breakfast to show up I did do the sketch. This is the result and best breakfast in all Thailand! Dog getting caught in current and washed down river & joining me for breakfast? Extra free laughing enjoyment! bacon?
"Wat Cat" this orange fella showed up as I took a quick temple sit break. He joined for a minute then gone.
Huge White temple, these bird sculptures were on every side and huge
Here again yea this shouldn’t be too bad to sketch, what was I thinking? Yes do it, glad I did
Hua Hin, located on the Gulf of Thailand, very cool place to go, spend time and get lost in the day
Swillin beer at the Buffalo Bar Hua Hin. Man these concrete workers sure make a person thirsty just watchin.
Found this on one of many temples and other places around
Thought yea this will be an easy draw, nope this one kicked my ass a bit.
Sea Life Bangkok Ocean World - pretty amazing place
I’ve never seen one of these guys, a bowmouth guitarfish, shark ray or mud skate. Very cool fish
Pattaya lots of water and beach stuff to do, just don't do this! Believe me or not!
Signs everyone needs a sign, Here's yours.
Krua Khun Puk I ate there more times than anywhere else in Bangkok. Food is really good, huge selection, noodle soup too. You may have to wait a short bit in the BKK heat but well worth the wait. Chow down
I started doing signs along time ago on first Thailand visit, after awhile things started looking the same
but “Signs” are all different, maybe you can’t read it but you can sure tell whether its cool or not. Capture that one moment.
Nok Air from Bangkok to Chiang Mai and various spots around CNX
Like always yea this will be an easy draw but this one will kick your ass a bit
Lots of curvy lines. Each draw starts with just one line then go and build from there. I use Micron pens only no pencils allowed. The lines, you will make mistakes but move the lines and you will be fine. This sketch is full of moved lines, who cares its a cool piece of hand drawn artwork.
Out and about you are consuming all kinds of info download on daily walkabouts
Signs and doing signs is amazing artwork during that certain time frame whatever time frame you may be in at the moment. Take advantage of it and run with it.
Loved this barber sign. Dang Barber, yep I've said that a few times and know you all have too!
Pai, Thailand is a pretty nice quite spot way up in the mountains NW of Chiang Mai 3 hours. WX drops down into the 60’s at night so pack a light jacket maybe.
Art in Paradise, 3D amazing painting work, Durians not happening
Free transpo to the potty
Sea Life seeing 10 ft razor shark tooth sharks? Very cool what's for dinner?
Ruamchitt Hotel is perfect location for everything you need. Food, beer smokage and massage? Foot massage 250 baht yessir!
Do, do the Elephant Safari @ Kui Buri national park 10 clicks from Myanmar. The loud painful noises emanating from the elephants down by the river. Don’t drink the iced coffee or poopy pants will set in fast. Just don’t do it.
Elephant safari stomp. They made their way down to river and the sounds that came out, loud painful type noises
Pattaya one minute the next Bangkok so stay off the tracks
The book that caught it all. The sketches "Daily Draw"
I don’t know which is better the sketches or the journal stories of daily happenings. Love what you do! Enjoy life to the fullest!
