04 JANUARY 2016 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A baker in Bang Chak Market looks at a calendar before opening for the last time in Bang Chak Market on the day the market closed. The market closed January 4, 2016. The Bang Chak Market serves the community around Sois 91-97 on Sukhumvit Road in the Bangkok suburbs. About half of the market has been torn down. Bangkok city authorities put up notices in late November that the market would be closed by January 1, 2016 and redevelopment would start shortly after that. Market vendors said condominiums are being built on the land. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
