A Visual Journey to the Known and Unknown in the Land of Smiles

Discover Eastern Thailand beyond the familiar tourist destinations – from tropical islands and turquoise waters to traditional fishing villages, historic communities, hidden cultural treasures and wildlife-rich national parks.

Get Inspired Thailand – EAST & Islands combines original photography, personal travel experiences and practical information to inspire your own journey through the diverse landscapes and cultures of Eastern Thailand.

Created by Andrea and Uwe Bergwitz, this 393-page English-language PDF e-book begins in Trat, exploring the mainland and islands before following the Gulf coast westwards through Chanthaburi, Rayong and Chon Buri. The journey then continues inland through Chachoengsao, Prachin Buri and Sa Kaeo, revealing a different side of Eastern Thailand.

The authors personally explored every featured destination and created all photographs and video footage themselves. More than 900 original photographs, panoramas and illustrations capture the region’s landscapes, culture and everyday life.
