Souls of Bangkok: The Photophobic Stroller

SOULS OF BANGKOK — Even more than others, Waraporn avoids the sun. She prefers the rainy days. She avoids the sun because she has a kind of allergy to it, which leaves her with painful migraine headaches. That conflicts with her enjoyment of Lumpini Park’s fresh air and ample paths to wander for some exercise. So she compromises with her parasol.

Souls of Bangkok is a Coconuts series of street portrait photography inspired by Brandon Stanton’s Humans of New York. Every human has a story to tell, and we intend to share some from the millions of souls who call Bangkok home.
