Bangkok
Photographs by Roy Googin

A seamless convergence of the practical, the spiritual, and the aesthetic. Vendors in the Sanam Luang park. Life imitates art. Traffic on the Chao Praya River.

View from the banks of the Chao Praya River. Houses and temples clustered on the banks of the Chao Praya River. Sidewalk vendors at work in the Tha Thian market. An American tourist blends in with the crowd.

The Khmer-style temple Wat Arun. Protection from the sun on a scorching Thanon Ploenchit sidewalk. A monk on a quiet side street on the grounds of the Wat Pho temple. The boat pond and pagoda-shaped clock tower in Lumphini Park.

The flower market in Bangkok. The skyline of modern Bangkok. The reclining Buddha at Wat Pho temple. Commuters descending from the elevated train station on Thanon Phloenchit.

A garden and pagoda on the grounds of the Wat Pho temple. Offerings at a shrine to the reclining Buddha at Wat Pho temple. The morning commute on Thanon Phloenchit. A ferry stops at the Hua Chang pier near Thanon Phayathai. Peaceful coexistance on the grounds of the Wat Pho temple.
