Old structures disappearing
- March 8, 2004
Songkhla's Old Town has over 100 beautiful and unusual
structures clustered along a few narrow streets. Recently,
one atmospheric cluster of wooden huts (above) located
on a prominent corner across from a wat disappeared
and was replaced by a sterile parking lot and cement
buildings (below). Even before the huts were removed
the front yard was being used as a dumping place for
used oil (some of this is visible in the above photo).
2Bangkok.com recently took over 200 photos of the historic
buildings in Songkhla's Old Town and will be posting
them soon.
