A series of photographs contrasts with the previous photo Javier in Tokyo. There he emphasized the grandeur of the urban landscape with its huge number of neon signs. In Bangkok the photographer focused on small alleys, the street vendors, which serve the people, out on night walks, when the heat and humidity subside.
