Chris Tham's travelogue web site. This site documents all the trips we have taken over the years, to various countries.
This site is currently under construction, as we load trips from the most recent all the way back to our first trip in the 1980s.
Hi there! My name is Chris Tham. I live in Sydney, but love travelling.
This web site is a celebration of the wonderful trips we have taken across many countries, and I hope you enjoy them as much as we did taking them.

ChrisTham.netMy professional world travel and photography site:
VisualVoyager.netI started travelling in the 1980s, in high school, but did not go far because I did not have much money. After I started working in the late 1980s, I mainly travelled for work reasons. In those days, we were mainly trying to pay off our mortgage, so most of our trips were domestic. We started travelling overseas for fun in the late 1990s after paying off our mortgage, but then in the early 2000s we bought a new house so had to curtail our travel desires. Most of our travel overseas have been in the 2010s as we had more disposable income.
The COVID19 worldwide pandemic in 2020 forced many people into lockdown, unable to leave their homes. I took the opportunity of load (or scan), edit and catalog all the photos of travels we have taken in the last 30 years. I have decided to make all the content of this site, including photos, open source (MIT Licence) and hosted on Github Pages. Please join me in exploring the trips we have taken.
We visited USA a few times in the 2000s.
Australia is where we live. We have visited many places here.
We have visited the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau many times.
We have visited France, Germany, Italy and the UK.
I studied Japanese for a few years and love this country.
Aotearoa ('land of the long white cloud') is a neighbour country.
I was born in Malaysia, but we have also visited Singapore and Thailand.
