Hi, I’m Mads D

I’m passionate about photography and exploring Thailand’s incredible beauty. For years, I’ve made Kamala Beach Estate my home and cherished every moment spent capturing the country’s diverse landscapes, vibrant culture, and hidden gems.

My journey with Thailand began in 1989, during my first visit, when I was immediately struck by its charm, spirit, and the warmth of its people. After years of traveling back and forth, I finally decided to settle here in 2004—a decision that has filled my life with endless inspiration.

Photography has been in my blood for over 40 years, ever since that first photo lesson in school. Since then, I’ve driven over 500,000 kilometers across Thailand, documenting everything from Phuket’s tranquil beaches to Bangkok’s lively streets and the untouched beauty of remote villages.

In 2015, I began sharing my travels on Google Maps, and since then, I’ve uploaded over 25,000 photos—viewed more than 130 million times!
