Full Description
For more than six generations, the people of Pommahakan have lived a traditional lifestyle in the bustling heart of Bangkok, preserving its sacred trees and old houses.
Now they face eviction at the hands of the city authorities, who want to turn their land into a concrete "park". The community has proposed a cheaper alternative, but the authorities refuse to listen.
