Photos taken by Zashnain of a small slum near to Soi Chan 16, Sathorn.

Houses......

Homes, made of thin wood sheets and cardboards. These homes are built over a polluted water drain.

Wooden houses, often accommodate 5-8 family members. A home has a small lavatory and one or a couple of rooms. In many cases, the elderly and children sleep in the dining room on the ground floor.
