Introduction
Welcome. I’m Derek, an amateur photographer who has, for several years, been wandering the streets, canals, and hidden corners of Bangkok. This site grew out of a simple desire to record my favourite Bangkok walking routes.
Every route on this site is one I have walked and photographed personally, usually more than once. The guides are detailed, the maps are accurate, and the photographic opportunities are highlighted along the way. There are no sponsored recommendations and no advertisements; just honest, first-hand guides for independent travellers who want to see Bangkok on their own terms.
Most of my posts focus on walking routes through little-visited neighbourhoods, quiet alleyways, and historic canal-side communities where the city’s true character resides. But Lens Wanderings is about more than Bangkok, and there are several posts which will take you outside the city.

Bangkok Walking Routes: Wrapping Up
The majority of my posts rightly focus on Bangkok, a city that defies simple labels. It’s a sensory feast that will challenge your expectations, reward your curiosity, and etch itself permanently into your memory. From the quiet reverence inside a wat to the exhilarating roar of a canal taxi speeding down a khlong. Think also of the simple joy of a bowl of street noodles contrasted with a glamorous rooftop restaurant. This metropolis is a complex tapestry of ancient history and relentless modernity.
