A Day In Bang Krachao

Last year during my time in Bangkok , my girlfriend asked me if we can go together and go to Bang Krachao.Bang Krachao is located in an area of Bangkok, actually in the province of Samut Prakan
Bang Krachao is the name used for the green lung inside the Chao Phraya horseshoe, which is a part of the greater area of Phra Pradaeng (พระประแดง). is an artificial island formed by a bend in the Chao Phraya River and a canal at its western end. It lies south of the Thailand  capital . The island, covering 16 square kilometres (6.2 sq mi), has been traditionally agricultural with only a relatively small population.It is sometimes referred to as the "green lung" of Bangkok". Here's few shot that i took when i go there, few been made with my Leica camera...enjoy.

During my time in  Bangkok in November 2017, i had a chance to see about Mod & Rockers subculture in Thailand, in this case Bangkok. It was 18th of November. The place took place at Ratchada Night Market located at Ratchadaphisek Road. The place are full pack of Vintage scooters, beers are free and of course theres beautiful thai girls here..because it's Friday night and everyone go out for a beer or two.Here few snapshot i took with my Leica M3 and Fuji Superia film. Few shot are nearly had fatal accident on my development thank, as i use stainless steel tank which quite difficult to handle. Please comment if you had something to share or happen to be on that place.

Vintage Lambretta.

If you come often to Thailand you can see how rich this country with vintage culture such as vintage Lambretta or Vespa. But this one doesn't go out quite often. Vintage LI S1 Lambretta are hard to find in Asia, i believe this type only come in few amount and he rest come from its neighbouring country such as Vietnam , Laos or Cambodia during the French occupation.

The red and white LI150 supposed to be a frame breather which are more sought after.You can see from the rear back grill which are an open grill for sucking the air through the frame.

Classic Royal Enfield, despite the new version coming out recently. I never seen like this before, please let me know on the comment section

Vespa SS or Super Sport with some original accessories
