RE: Market Friday: around my childhood house, ไปเดินเล่นรอบๆแถวบ้านเก่า
Howdy sir kaminchan! A fantastic slice of culture there and a look at your old neighborhood, so sad what happened to the old house businesses. Very interesting though.
Thanks! Life must go on! I feel the same way, rather sad to see all empty houses! No more old neighbours, no more familiar houses!
Have a good day!
Well, what is disturbing is that many had to move out because of the newer housing but where did they move to? They had a great set up because their business was on the ground floor and their living quarters were on the second floor, right?
Yes! That’s very bad for at least an
old lady I knew since being a kid! She had no family and she has to move to live with some distant relatives far away from Bangkok. It’s very hard as she was already in her seventies!
These are extremely rich businessmen who wanted to make more profits from their prime investment. That’s, by the way, the owners of Chang Beer company here! These are the top five richest family in Thailand!
Gone were the old days of easy and friendly way of life in the old China town area!
That just sounds tragic sir kaminchan, the whole thing! What a shame.
Luckily that old lady has some place to move to! Most people were financially well off, so they could afford new houses! But the old community just disappeared!
I could no longer locate people I used to know as a kid. We had no choice but to let go of the past and made the best of what we have got!
I understand sir kaminchan, that's too bad. It's too bad that the city government couldn't have gotten another location for them.
