A fascinating portrayal of the ancient klongs of Bangkok. This fast disappearing world is seen not only through the keen eye of a photographer but also the pen of a consummate journalist, capturing the essence of real life on the klongs.
Accompanying the photographs are revealing interviews with dozens of klong dwellers, all of whom were born and bred on these very banks, many of whom are old enough to remember another life in another time.
This book shows a face of Thailand which many visitors don't get to see, and if they do take a trip on the klongs, what are the stories of those who live there?
