Another Day on press.

Listening to Albert King, “Blues At Sunrise”

Bangkok is very touristy and all people tend to converge to same classic spots. Nevertheless we were lucky today to meet street photographer Michael Bialecki (inteview coming in a couple of weeks) that made us discover one of Bangkok’s traditional neighourhood. After a fun speedboat ride on a waterway, we finally found ourselves where no foreigners go. Though many people there live in very humble conditions, life is just about the same as any city in the world yet with the smile in almost every face.

Thank you Michael for a great day !  (click on pictures for high res)
