Well it is almost December and within a few short weeks it will be 2010 so I guess it is time to update this site and plan for the new year.
George Mann – Personal Photo Tour & Photography Services
The personal photo tour business has been very poor this year (2009), I have had many requests for personal tour services and put together a number of detailed personal travel itineraries, only to be told time and again that they decided to save money and do it on their own. OK, I get it, money is tight for a lot of people at the moment, so why contact a personal photo tour service? If you are looking for a bargain, just call a budget tour company.
Some of you may want or need to travel at your own pace though, go to locations not available from tour companies, have a driver available at 4:30 AM for a sun rise shot, or wait around for the weather to change in a specific location. If that person is you, my service is available.

For small groups ranging from 1 to 5 tour participants. It’s your party, whether you are alone or bring four of your best friends, the tour fee stays the same.
We specialize in personal photo tours and on location workshops in South East Asia. You let us know what you are looking to do and we will set up the trip for you. We are based out of Thailand & Cambodia, so we are always available to conduct these personal photo tours, and unless we are already booked, can be hired on very short notice.
If you wish to visit Angkor we would like to suggest scheduling a four day (or longer) stay in Siem Reap. The Angkor area is much larger and the temples more spread out than it appears when looking at the maps, ideally you want to spend at least three days exploring and photographing the temples.

Best Holiday Destinations in Asia
Polling holiday destinations is always fun, but tricky. Dreams are peculiar to countries and communities. Just as the westernised Japanese race to the beach to revel in the sun, Indians head for shade and cool hill resorts. Shopping-mad Hongkongers head for the malls, Australians chase the surf and Brits sip Singapore slings in musty colonial retreats.
