This is in Chinatown, but many streets in old Bangkok
are packed and crammed and jammed like this.
Looks charming, but it's not so great when you hear
all the noise and get a whif of the heavy polution. The reason I took
the photo below, in fact, is that I wondered at how people can live in
such quarters, but the photo doesn't really give that cramped feeling.

the River View Guest House.
Buddha's face with gold leaf, on the sawed-off limb
of a tree on the compound of the temple above. It's about 30 cm in diameter.
The decrepitude in the neighborhood is fascinating,
mesmerizing.
