The Danish Embassy in Bangkok has posted honorable mentions from their recent ‘Traces of Denmark in Thailand’ photo competition.

“The embassy received a great number of entries for the “Traces of Denmark in Thailand” photo competition and it was a pleasure discovering so many wonderful examples of Danish traces in Thailand.

The jury has chosen a few additional photos, which deserve an honorable mention

Once again thank you to everyone who participated” the embassy writes.
