We live just outside of Bangkok in the suburban town of Samut Prakan. Although it's older than Bangkok, it's incomparably less well known. If Siam Centre is the heart of Bangkok, Samut Prakan is Bangkok's tumor - known mostly for its industrial estates and for being located at the mouth of the Chao Phraya river, where Bangkok's sludge is spewed into the Gulf of Thailand. But that is all going to change, as the BTS extension and a 10 story Observation Tower near completion. Pics are courtesy of the local blogger Richard Barrow, a Samut Prakan native.
