23 FEBRUARY 2018 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: People at a soup stall in Pratunam Market with a construction fence in the background. Photos of Thai royalty are on the fence. Pratunam Market was one of the largest clothing markets in Bangkok. New airconditioned markets, like Platinum and Palladium malls opened nearby, siphoning away customers. Now there are only a handful of merchants left in the market and Bangkok city officials have plans to shut the market and redevelop the land. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
