The Chewys went on a short 4D3N to Bangkok in June 2023 during the school holidays and I cant believe it took me almost a year to post this! I have always wanted to do another traditional costume photoshoot after our last in Korea and Bangkok is the perfect place to do so.

I chanced upon Sense of Thai online while I was doing some research for our trip. They offer modern pastel colored Thai costumes which instantly won me over.

Another bonus is that they collaborate with freelance photographers so it’s very convenient to just make a single reservation for costume rental and photoshoot.

We chose the earliest photoshoot time slot which was 11am to 12pm because we wanted to just get it over and done so that we can relax and go about doing whatever we wanted for the rest of the day.

Thankfully, the weather was cloudy and kind to us despite the not-so-ideal timing. To save time, I prepared screenshot selections of the preferred costumes for all of us and simply showed them to the Sense of Thai staff to hunt for the fabric for us. We were in and out in less than 20 minutes inclusive of fitting with help from the staff.

Photoshoot location was Wat Arun temple. We had to take a ferry about 2 to 3 stops away and our photographer Aofaum was already waiting for us at the entrance. I actually contacted him via IG because the response from Sense of Thai was very slow. He actually got back to me on the same day.

There is also a small entrance fee for Wat Arun temple but the freelance photographers are stationed there all day so we didnt have to pay for his.

Aofaum was very professional and good at directing poses so we felt natural and at ease.

Hope you guys enjoyed the photos! 🙂
