MARK CARTER ︎ RIVER OF KINGS
The Chao Phraya flows through Bangkok like the vein from a beating heart, an ancient artery that gave birth to the city & that still feeds life to it today.
They come to her to give merit, to receive her mythical healing powers.
They come to her for wealth, rich and poor, traders or pirates she pays them all.
They come to her for journeys, her waters hold romance and relaxation.
They come to her to feel her opulence, to witness her excess.
They come to her for life and she gives and takes.
She is the river of Kings and her grandness is untouchable.
Her children need her.
