PomMahakan0607

07 JUNE 2017 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A man looks at what used to be a neighbor's home in Pom Mahakan. The home was torn down in the first week of June. Bangkok city officials are expected to tear the structure down in coming weeks. The final evictions of the remaining families in Pom Mahakan, a slum community in a 19th century fort in Bangkok, have started. City officials are moving the residents out of the fort. NGOs and historic preservation organizations protested the city's action but city officials did not relent and started evicting the remaining families in early March. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
