I'm back after a short lapse of nearly 3 weeks. This time the post will be of my past field trip when I was doing my Masters Degree in Bangkok from the year 2006 till 2008, At that time part of the tour in our workshop is in Suphanburi, an ancient city of Thailand dating back to the Stone Age with evidence found by archaeologists. One of the most remembered places that I have visited at that time was the 100 years old market apart from other ancient temples. Officially name as SamChuk 100 years old market, it is filled with communities of Chinese descent. Most of them or all I would say are of Teochews with whom, the older generations are still able to speak that dialect which made me quite excited at that time as I'm of Teochew Chinese. This posting will be divided into 2 sections which are the historical house owned by a rich merchant decades ago as well as the communities around. FYI, some of the photos have been changed into sephia color mode for the nostalgic feelings.
Historical House
Baba Nyonya type of mirror and drawer table
(forgot the exact name for this though)
The living room..very typical old Chinese type of house
100 years old refrigerator, and the brand's Electrolux..
that's a very old brand..I never knew it
'the' reading table
Their sleeping room
with a rifle as well as old oil lamp
A very old map, framed-up by the owner I guess..
anyone understand the Chinese writings here?
And now to the communities and shops around...
The layout of the 'rumah kedai' (shop houses) style of market
Shops around selling food stuff and..............................antiques such as
Old cameras etc
and of coz some modern paintings by the community there for sale...
Chinese dimsums and siew mai are also available
not to forget traditional Thai foods i guess that's the green curry on the right
A happy chinese old granny showing us some of the old tools for making some food stuff
Kids watching T.Vs in their old home
typical old homes..nostalgic isn't it
And last but not least, one of my coursemates, Abdel Latiff from Morocco enjoying his meal inside the house :D
That's all for now..more postings coming up, from Indonesia!
