Sala Chaloem Thani or the Nang Loeng Cinema, is the original wooden cinema in Thailand. Built in 1918, the cinema showed films for over 75 years until it’s closing in 1993. It’s a landmark in the city’s cultural tour due to it’s proximity to Nang Loeng Market.

My favorite girl with the saxophone busking on Silom sidewalk. She’s not there very often, but when I hear the sax, I know it’s her.

Bangkok is known to be one of the most congested cities in South East Asia, placing second behind Mexico City. I visited the tallest building early one evening and captured the chaotic scene of the traffic below.
Thailand is slowly coming back to normal after the nation’s greatest loss. People of all walks of life and from every corner of the country (and the world) come to pay respects to the King. And will continue to come to pay respect the the Great Monarch. The Emerald Buddha Temple and the Grand Palace is closed to the public so the people can only put flowers and candle outside the Grand Palace wall.
Last Saturday, I didn’t intend to go down to the Palace, however, I was there. After taking walk on the Thonburi side, I have to take the ferry to cross the river. It was my good fortune that I landed on the pier that is closest to the Grand Palace. Even though I arrived after ‘singing of the royal anthem’ the crowd was still thick.
A steady stream of people laying flower and candles along the Palace wall, myself included.
