Photography Thailand Forum

[Gregg Spradling]

If you like old photos of Bangkok you might be interested in the current gallery at the Bangkok Culture Center. (the BCC is directly across from MBK)
The photographs are mostly from around 1920's to the 1960's, but there were a few from the late 1800's.

I really love looking at old photographs and wanted to pass this on. It was really funny to see the streets of Bangkok with no traffic.

Thanks for passing this on Gregg. I am a big fan for old photos. Will check it out this week.

Your welcome Hans, but Gregg posted this. I haven't seen the exhibition yet myself, but it does sound very nice.

Sorry my apologies, Gregg. All honor to you

Saw the exhibition today and there were some good images. My problem was they were just cheap poster type blow-ups, pixellated, no detail, ... Would have been so much nicer to have seen nicely printed photographs, perhaps not as big but the quality would more than make up for that. In some of the small galleries off of the exhibition one could see photographs on display, and these to me were more satisfying.
