It truly looks like a great way to spend your time while improving your camera skills. I don't want to kill the fun in it, but I want to mention that I find it somewhat strange to publish pictures of individual people without their explicit consent. It might be implicit consent if a woman starts posing for your pictures; and that's fine. I would still enjoy if they gave explicit consent, but maybe this implicit consent is enough. But if someone doesn't realize you've taken pictures of them, and then they get published, that feels very wrong.
Maybe that's just my way to view things out of a strict German perspective and it you are right, that people in other parts of the world are a lot more relaxed about it and it is fully fine.
Perhaps you are right in some ways, but this is a public place, and every day we all end up in other people’s photos when they take pictures with their phones. We are also constantly recorded by surveillance cameras that are impossible to avoid. Here in Thailand, photography is allowed almost everywhere, whether it is a restaurant or a hotel.
Approaching someone to ask for permission to take a photo would immediately destroy the natural atmosphere of the moment, which is already difficult enough to capture.
I was rather thinking of getting consent after taking the pictures. I understand that you want natural pictures and thus cannot ask for prior consent. But you could ask afterwards; and if you cannot find the person anymore or whatever else might happen, simply don't post the pictures.
And you are right: It is impossible to not end up on other peoples recordings. But in those pictures those people on the picture without consent aren't the focus of the picture. And in the case of surveillance cameras: Those cameras don't usually record with the intention of publishing their recordings.
But I don't want to be too harsh on you. I really liked your post and you did some great work! I'm far off having photography skills like you do.
I'm excited to see some more of your work in the future.

Anyways: Your pictures turned out great!
