As I wandered through the streets of Bangkok, I was struck by the colorful pieces of history that adorned the walls. Old posters and advertisements from decades past were still taped up in many places, adding a touch of character to the cityscape. While some of these pieces had clearly been there for years, others looked relatively new. It was clear that someone was making an effort to preserve these historic items. I couldn’t help but wonder about the stories behind them. Who had put them up originally? What events were being advertised? And what did they represent about Bangkok’s history? As I continued to explore the city, I found myself drawn to these old pieces of paper, eager to learn more about the city’s past.
