Likay Portraits

This is post 20 of 38 in the series “Thailand Trip 2007”

This trip was the first time I visited Thailand since I moved to Sydney in 2001. That was a very long time for an ex-pat to return to homeland.
My view to the country changed around the use of the medium of that time–photography. And I also started to use it as video projects.
Bangkok, I still love this fucking city.

Have a closer look at some of the likay performers on the night I visited them.
