It Seemed That Only In The Mornings, There Were No Shoppers And Only A Few People Working Here And There

All The Other Stores Were Closed, The Only Butcher Working In One Section Of The Market

A Round, Thick Wooden Chopping Board Was Placed In Front Of A Young Man Holding A Knife That Looked Like A Chinese Cleaver

The Woman Eating At The Counter Looked At Me, Mouth Agape

It Was Hungry To Act Tough And Have To Negotiate Prices Every Time I Bought Something, So There Were Diners All Over The Place Where I Would Go To Get Hungry

The High School Girls Continued Chatting For The Short Time It Took For The Ferry To Cross The Chao Phraya River

The Voice Of The Gaudily Dressed Person With Sunglasses And Large Earrings Was Unexpectedly Low

Two Policemen Sat In Chairs Under A Helmet-shaped Roof, Calmly Watching The Traffic

Among The Portraits Of The King Displayed Next To The TV Was A Picture Of King Rama V

The Instruments Sold At The Music Shop Were Not Traditional Thai Instruments, But Western Instruments Sold In Japan

Although It Was Close To A Tourist Spot, There Were No Souvenirs For Sale, But Only Dried Fish

Next To A Little Canal That I Don't Even Know The Name Of, A Man Was Sleeping Soundly

Two Men Were Riding On A Motorcycle Stopped In Front Of Me, In Addition To The Girl

The Woman's Firm Grip Wasn't Just A Hanging Strap

Passengers Disembarked En Masse From The Water Bus That Landed At Pratunam Pier

Artworks Placed All Over Central World Are Not Very Thai

A Strange Creature With Big Eyes Was Painted On The Roof Of The Pedestrian Bridge, And The Portrait Of The King Was Displayed At The End Of It

Walking On Narrow Streets Is More Enjoyable Than Walking On Main Streets Because They Are Full Of Daily Life Different From That Of Japan

Even In Alleys That Are A Bit Too Lonely For Humans To Relax In, The Silence May Be To The Cat's Liking

A Young Girl Peeked Anxiously Into The Room With A Group Of Troubled Adults

In Thailand, Where The Population Is Not Aging, Shuttered Shopping Streets May Be An Urban Legend

The Name Tuk-tuk Comes From The Sound Of Its Engine

Walking Down The Alley, I Saw A Mosque, So It Looks Like A Muslim Community

There Was A Cemetery For Muslims In Bangkok, A Predominantly Buddhist City With No Graves

There Was A Mosque On One Of The Back Streets And A Muslim Cemetery Next To It

The Man Was Drinking Beer Along The Saensaep Canal, Which Was Built To Transport Soldiers And Weapons

You May Not Notice It When You Walk Around Downtown, But Bangkok Was Originally A Water Village Built On The Delta Of The Chao Phraya River

Looking Into One Place Where The Tin Panel Had Been Peeled Off, I Found A Plastic Basin And A Basket On The Floor With A Baby Playing With It

Mahachai Station Is The Terminal Station, Where The Railroad Line Starts And Extends All The Way To Bangkok

The Way She Was Putting Her Head In Her Hands, I Could Feel The Girl Was Getting Tired Of Waiting
