Under the unpredictable Bangkok sky in the late afternoon of last Saturday, I stopped by Vachirabenjatas Park (Rot Fai Park) in Chatuchak district. Even though I haven't visited here for many years, while strolling around, I found this massive park still looks as beautiful as I remember. And despite the hazy skies and uncertainty of rain at any given time, I thought to myself that at least it's still better than being bored sitting on a couch watching a movie at home.
I'm here to check out Krungthep Klang Plaeng, an outdoor cinema fair that is screening more than 25 Thai and international films selected by the Thai Film Archive throughout July. The fair is part of a campaign from the newly-elected Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt, who is moving forward with his promise to improve the quality of life in Bangkok.
