A large Chinese mansion built in the Talad Noi neighborhood of Bangkok in the mid-19th centruy by businessman Phra Aphaiwanit. It is still owned by his descendants. The courtyard now features a dive tank and parts of the old house now operate as a café open to the public.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
