I have a request for those who may be able to help me. I'm planning to document abandoned resorts in southern Thailand this summer, especially those affected by the pandemic. Does anyone happen to have any location suggestions? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. You can reply here or PM me, also available via my website or fb page. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help! Pictured is an abandoned resort in Chiang Mai that no longer exists, shot in 2017. what was the name of that resort? I love poking around abandoned places in CM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This resort has been derelict since the late 1990's when I came across it. Whenever I travel past this structure, I can see a few Thai squatters in the lobby.

Popular Post daveAustin Posted July 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2022 What a fantastic thread! Special thanks to diznax and helbob for some jaw-dropping images. Never have I given out so many likes. After one spends a certain amount of time here, standard folk (like me) typically become blind to these places, sort of like ads on a webpage... my moobaan in CM was right opposite one, for instance; a 1997 jobby. Was always curious but never ventured in there. Massive place. Perhaps I'll take a look next time I'm nearby and post here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post diznax Posted July 27, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2022 Looking for some input from anyone who knows about Buddha statues. I saw this one at an abandoned temple the other day, first I've ever seen a Buddha with hands covering face. I'm very curious as to the meaning. Any ideas? It resembles the 'see no evil' depicted in the popular Japanese 'three wise monkeys' statues, but I think it's very unusual to see this depiction in a Buddha statue...or maybe not, but I've certainly never seen it before.

Beds made, dishes in the sink to wash, even expensive cars or tvs etc. It appears as if some had to suddenly 'do a runner', and I guess others died with no family to clear up or take over the property.

If someone died alone in the house it is likely the Thai culture of ghosts becomes the rule. No chance of the average Thai going within 100 metres. Dying within a extended family home is OK.
