We’re getting ready to celebrate Songkran, Thai New Year, with Tavepong Pratoomwong
Thailand is a country bursting with energy and color, vibrancy and variety – and not to forget some of the world’s most picturesque landscapes! At no time is this truer than during the Songkran festival. The traditional Thai New Year, taking place from April 13-15, is one of the most important events in the Thai calendar. So we’re asking you to share your pictures of Thailand: It’s Spotted In Thailand!
We’ve invited Bangkok native – and winner of the 2014 EyeEm Street Photography award – Tavepong Pratoomwong to guest judge this Mission. He’ll be helping us pick out 20 pictures that really showcase the beauty of his home country. Visited Thailand? Scroll down to find out how you can take part!

About Tavepong Pratoomwong: Tavepong Pratoomwong is an award-winning street photographer based in Bangkok, Thailand. He has been interested in the art of photography since studying at university – but by the time he took a trip to Varanasi, India back in 2013, he had almost stopped shooting altogether. The trip marked a turning point in his photography journey and inspired him to pick up his camera once more.
Upon returning to Thailand he joined the Street Photo Thailand’s ‘365 days in 2014’ project, which challenged him to go out and shoot every day. Since then, he has stuck by the motto: “Good day, bad day, but every day.”
