  • 27 JUNE 2015 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:   Empty soft drink bottles repurposed as art in the Bang Luang neighborhood in Thonburi. The Bang Luang neighborhood lines Khlong (Canal) Bang Luang in the Thonburi section of Bangkok on the west side of Chao Phraya River. It was established in the late 18th Century by King Taksin the Great after the Burmese sacked the Siamese capital of Ayutthaya. The neighborhood, like most of Thonburi, is relatively undeveloped and still criss crossed by the canals which once made Bangkok famous. It's now a popular day trip from central Bangkok and offers a glimpse into what the city used to be like.       PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 17 NOVEMBER 2012 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  Traditional housing along a canal in the Thonburi section of Bangkok. Bangkok used to be known as the "Venice of the East" because of the number of waterways the criss crossed the city. Now most of the waterways have been filled in but boats and ships still play an important role in daily life in Bangkok. Thousands of people commute to work daily on the Chao Phraya Express Boats and fast boats that ply Khlong Saen Saeb or use boats to get around on the canals on the Thonburi side of the river.
