Nick De Clercq earns PPOC Accreditation
Awards, PhotographyI am extremely proud to announce that I am officially a PPOC accredited photographer!
On February 7-8th I earned an Accreditation in Architectural after a series of my architectural work passed a juried process at the Accreditation judging session in London, Ontario.

Bangkok Wrap Up
Photography, TravelThis week, I returned from a 2 week trip to Bangkok, Thailand. My very first time flying to Asia and I must admit that it was a great first introduction to the continent. Off course you have to look past the smog and the extremely busyness of the city, but the culture and the friendliness of the people is almost unmatched and a breath of fresh air when living in Europe.
1. Things to see
First things first, if someone walks up to you and tells you that the monument or temple is closed this is a LIE. These are scammers trying to take you to places where you don’t want to go, just keep walking to the entrance and you will see that it is open. Having this important warning out-of-the-way we can continue with the list.
Without a doubt you have to go and visit the historic center and it’s temples. My top places you should try to visit when you are there are:
