Souls of Bangkok: Kraitong, the street survivor

SOULS OF BANGKOK — Kraitong has been walking around Bangkok for 30 years. The entire city is his home, as he walks and lives everywhere in the capital.

“Bangkokians just want to survive,” he said. “I walk because I like freedom, I don’t like to be forced.”
