Abandoned Shit Weekly Contest - No-9 - "Graveyards ".

in #aswcontest6 years ago

This cemetery i pass almost everyday on my way to work it's called the Teochew Chinese Cemetery in Bangkok, Thailand i can see it looking down from the Sky-train traveling on my way to the office. I have always been curious about the history of this cemetery and have always wanted to take a walk through this cemetery and this contest has given me a reason to do just that so lets go for a tour into the unknown eerie cemetery.


As you can see starting from the entrance how neglected and abandon state it's in.

This cemetery is situated between the Sky Train stops of Saladang and Chong Nosi which are the two main busiest business centers of Bangkok but this cemetery has been here for years since the Burma and Siam war conflicts back in the 18th century.

I was quite surprised to know that some of the big name hotels like the W Hotel , The Heritage Hotel Sathorn and a few more popular hotels and apartments are built right near this totally trashed eerie cemetery but then you can't take away or cover up a war memorial cemetery but you would thing that they would at least held a bit more respect for those poor war heroes who helped win Siam back which is today known as Bangkok.

It looks like the absolute wild west cemetery. Rubbish has been throw into the tombstones and lit up just to try and dispose of some of the rubbish how sad. There are quite a few stray dogs that live within the grounds and are quite friendly to see a life human walking around.
