Great picture. Bangkok in the year 1956 in China Town. To be honest, in some parts of the city it can still look quite similar even though Bangkok is a modern city now.

This is how Bangkok’s “klongs” or canals look like……. not the place you wanna jump in if you plan on making your 20th birthday. These kids seem to think different about that.
