Typical Under Bridge Life



Here's picture of typical under bridge life in Bangkok, Thailand. Usually, it's being used for u-turn. Besides, people occupied the space to do their businesses too, people from street food vendor, fruit vendor, tailor, barber, street dogs to homeless seeking shelter. Some new bridges have fences to protect people from taking the space.

Help Stop Violence in the Home


Help Stop Violence in the Home ad
Thai wording says "60% of violent cases are domestic violence, help stop violence in the home"

There are still lots of domestic violence in Thailand no matter they are rich or poor and simply neglectable by the authorities and bystanders as they see it as "personal or private issues" unless it's getting out of hand.

Sadly, nothing much has been done by the government in the past and today to prevent this from happening.

Today, violence is also part of politic when they express their view points. Recently, one senator kicked his opponent after an exchange of words in parliament. Nothing has happened to him, he's still living large. He also has history of domestic violence.

Typical Roadside Bangkok

This is a typical roadside of Bangkok (not CBD) which has similar
elements elsewhere; street food vendor, signs, convenient store, damaged
curb and sidewalk, messy electrical cable (overhead) and drinking
vending machine (you'll never know when was the last time they changed
filter).
