Khun Anapon has Died

My friend Anapon (Moo) has died. I learned of his passing today from a lady who runs a small store near where he lived. She told me he died almost three years ago, so soon after I left Thailand in 2022. Khun Anapon was the first person I photographed “under the freeway” way back around 2010. He was such a friendly and soft-hearted man. A former Muay Thai boxer who had fought internationally  in Japan and told me that “Japanese woman see very beautiful”. I will miss him. I feel sad that he is gone, we would joke and laugh together often. He only exists in the pictures now.
