iPHONE BLOGGING

This is a picture and video blog (moblog) that I am doing from my iPhone here in Thailand. Nothing has been posted or edited on a PC. Wherever possible, I will be posting live from each location. Captions will be kept to a minimum in interest of speed.

I run an Internet company called Paknam Web in Samut Prakan, Thailand. We have online shops, guidebooks and news magazines. I am also photojournalist  for a local Thai newspaper. Some pictures will be general interest while others will be taken at news events or during research for one of our guidebook websites.

MOBILE BLOGGING
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mobile blogging (moblogging) is a form of blogging in which the author publishes blog entries directly to the web from a mobile phone or other handheld device. A moblog helps habitual bloggers to post write-ups directly from their phones even when on the move. Mobile blogging is popular among people with camera-equipped phones which allow them to e-mail/MMS or SMS photos and video that then appear as entries on a web site, or to use mobile browsers to publish content directly to any blogging platform with Mobile Posting compatibility.

Moblogging is particularly helpful to tourists and travellers when access to a computer with Internet connection may be difficult. The traveller can snap photos and with a GPRS or a WAP-enabled phone can easily upload such pictures with text descriptions directly to his or her blog. This requires a suitable blogging platform or website with necessary plugins or features capable of receiving such emails and also posting them to the website.

A moblog platform offers the capability to use a phone for administration, editing and writing from the phone or smartphone browser.

    That picture is taken on November 27, 2008 at Suvarnabhumi airport when PAD occupied it.

    Unfortunately I never took note of his name, but he was australian, age fits, and same facial features when I compare it to Bangkok Post’s picture.

    Same guy?

    Hi Richard,

    I really admire your pictures depicting culture & life in Thailand.

    I am teacher in Adelaide, South Australia and I plan a project on Thailand with my Yr 6 students. Will it be in order if they use some of your material for their projects?

    Regards, Johann
