Q

A
The session is private and relaxed; we do not impose a strict limit on shots. A typical shoot of 1–1.5 hours yields around 200+ high‑resolution photographs. All images are lightly edited (tone & colour correction) and delivered via a Google Drive.
The photoshoot is exclusively for your group of three—no other guests join. We will take both individual portraits and group photos so you have a variety of images. Wittaya L - answered within 4 minute [TicketID # 7584]
Q
What should female guests prepare for the photoshoot? Susan - 1 year ago
A
For the best appearance and comfort during your Thai traditional dress photoshoot, we recommend wearing a strapless bra to ensure a clean neckline, especially for off-shoulder or traditional-style tops. This helps the costume fit beautifully without visible straps. As for footwear, please note that shoe rental is not provided.
We suggest bringing your own low or mid-heel shoes (1–2 inches) in a neutral tone — gold, nude, or cream colors pair well with most Thai costumes. Avoid sneakers or large platform shoes, as they may clash with the elegant look of the outfit. If the photoshoot will involve walking around temple grounds, please also consider comfort and ease of movement. Wittaya L - answered within 10 minute [TicketID # 6984]
