14 DECEMBER 2015 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: An abandoned home in Bang Chak Market. The building is scheduled to be demolished in the next month. The market closes permanently on Dec 31, 2015. 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.
