Thailand. Bangkok. A young muscular man, wearing a pair of black sport shorts and stripped to the waist, carries on his neck a 50 kg bag full of refined sugar. The thai man works as a coolie for a shophouse, which provides business in wholesale and retail sectors. Tha Tian is a community located in the downtown area and in the center of the urban historic district, called Koh Rattanakosin. 30.03.09 © 2009 Didier Ruef
