Souls of Bangkok: The Fighting Mohammeds

SOULS OF BANGKOK — They’re both 23, cousins and friends. And they’re both named Mohammed. This picture was taken on their last day of vacation before returning to Libya. What do they like about Bangkok? “The shopping malls,” they agreed. “And the people from Thailand, they are really friendly. They smile a lot.”
