RE: Bangkok Railroad Slums. Visiting Klong Som Poi Neighborhood

in Photography Lovers11 months ago

It is a bit unfair a lot of the world calling these wonderful thriving communities slums, I have seen many in the sub-continent, often right next to rail tracks and airports, I guess they choose these places as sig corporations would never consider building that close to the infrastructure, it couldn't be done. Great snaps again bringing the place alive

Agree. Slums have a negative connotation while things are what they are, neither more nor less: these are chaotic makeshift buildings along the noisy railroad. At the same time, this area is safe, people, although have low incomes, have access to clean water, good food, and jobs there.

Thank you! I'll return there for a walk with an accent to street photography, fewer buildings, and more people. Looking forward to this walk.

looking forward to seeing it,
