20 MAY 2017 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A new park on a site that used to be four homes in Pom Mahakan. The park was built after the families living on the site were evicted and their homes razed. 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
