I’ve just finished reading Matthew Woodward’s excellent book A Bridge Even Further about his @OnTheRails adventure from Edinburgh to Singapore via Thailand. It has now inspired me to do some international train travel of my own. Maybe north to Laos & China or south to Singapore.      source
Vanishing Bangkok book cover
Vanishing Bangkok
The Changing Face of the City
Ben Davies - 2020-04-30
Goodreads Rating
Vanishing Bangkok is a stunning black and white photographic book that takes readers on a journey through forgotten backstreets and hidden neighborhoods of the city. This unique angle showcases the fragile beauty and faded charm of Bangkok that is about to disappear forever beneath a tidal wave of development. The book features iconic landmarks such as the Old Customs House and vibrant communities of Chinatown, along with sleepy canals lost in time, evoking a city that still boasts an extraordinarily rich and diverse cultural heritage despite successive waves of modernization.

Ben Davies, author of the photo book “Vanishing Bangkok: The Changing Face of the City” told us that since he started the project, 25% of the buildings in the book have been torn down or changed beyond recognition. In about 10 years maybe none of them will be left. A great book.      source
