Impressive as always!!!

Thanks for sharing.

:)

Yes, IMPRESSIVE!

Lovely pics, Jo. They kind of bring back my memories of the old time, when I was a student in the University nearby me and me mates frequented that area a lot for food and fun stuff.

I really like the pic above National Stadium.

Thanks Jo

Suan Luang always fascinate me

Pic #3 is surreal ...

So much textures especially the shophouse pic :)

Btw, how old are these shophouses? 30, 40, 50, 60 years? They look aged (my guess: 40 years), but the "design" is kind of ageless, pretty minimalistic :)

I wonder that as well... I'm guessing 30-40 years, does that sound reasonable? The tropical climate sure is harsh on some buildings but with some (or rather heavy) renovation and modernisation they could even be quite nice I guess.
The row of shophouses in the pic are from the Khlong Toey area btw.

great collection.........
i like those shop houses........lil bit rustic.....but kinda nice.......

Yeah.. some paint, better and larger windows upstairs and a nicer solution to secure the entrance could make a big difference. But I also hope these buildings won't survive in the future, it's probably better to replace them :)

I have to say one positive thing about it though. It's probably quite good architecture in terms of building a neighbourhood where community sense. People there get to interact a lot.

People there get to interact a lot.In a way, yes ... but I do not know if that's really a feature of the architecture ... one could also say that there is generally much more interaction between people in poorer neighborhoods (like Klong Toey) than in better-off ones (at least in developing and emerging countries).

love your expression..neat..post more jo
