A sad day. Just did a search on Google Earth. Khun Anapon and Khun Ooh's homes are gone! I have been photographing them under the freeway since 2013, the freeway that was over their small rooms is now gone as well. Where did Anapon and Ooh go? What happened to them? Are they still alive? I have to find them my next trip to Thailand, maybe in late 2021. The photographs are part of THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE UNDER THE FREEWAY photo series.
Khun Anapon's home used to be along the tracks above the motorcyclists helmet, Khun Oohs a bit farther down |
Their homes used to be at this crossing near the car on the left. The entire freeway above has been removed as well. The area looks entirely different to me. |
