Thonburi's canals show a quieter side of Bangkok

Original: Have you seen this side of Bangkok? Thonburi’s khlongs reveal wooden homes, colorful boats and a quieter rhythm of life.

Travel photography from Thonburi, on the western bank of the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, is drawing attention for its depiction of life along the khlongs, the city's historic canals. The images show wooden stilt houses, small colourful boats and daily routines far from the traffic of central Bangkok. Viewers are responding to the contrast with Bangkok's usual image of malls, nightlife and congestion, with some calling it a reminder of the city's older water-based way of life.

Why now: The photos offer an unexpected, contrasting view of a city usually associated with traffic and tourism hotspots.
