A short walk away from us, builders are putting up several condos and apartments.
At one site, they are using jackhammers.
Tucked away behind the construction site are a collection of what looks like shanties - temporary accommodation where the builders live until the project is finished.
On a modest plot opposite them, a second building crew is erecting bamboo poles for what looks like an apartment. Once they are in place, they pour the concrete.
They, too, have erected their own flimsy on-site accommodation, complete with a makeshift clothes line where their work shorts flutter in the breeze.
Welcome to inner Bangkok, where landowners are forever refurbishing, upgrading and building to take advantage of rising property values.
The crew wielding the jackhammer started beating the earth before 8am.
Thanks, guys. Who cares about the neighbours!
It's getting hard to think, so perhaps I'll just post pictures instead.
