On field work in Bangkok

I was grateful that I had really good project groups for both the Bangkok project and the Northern Thailand project.

This is Baiyoke Tower in Bangkok, where we did the most amount of fieldwork. Our project was on the African trade enclave in Pratunam, where Baiyoke Tower is. What we found out was that the African traders were essentially "prisoners of space", and that they haven't been able to move out of that particular area to trade in other areas because they have difficulty assimilating into Thai culture.
