Tak chose the word « Phra Chen » which is the name of the slum.
It’s a small neighbourhood made up of 300 to 400 houses and feels like a peaceful village in the heart of an enormous developing metropolis. In recent years, skyscrapers have been built all around the area and the inhabitants are afraid that one day Phra Chen will be destroyed to make room for more modern buildings like high-end appartements, offices and shopping malls.
This is my first wall in Thailand and my first wall in the Thai script! « Share The Word Project » episode Bangkok is under way !
Big thank you to Tak for being the first to let me paint her house, and for taking such good care of me!
