1952 Bamboo Cottages Fill Flooded Frame Most Mound Peasant Plateau Shan Surrounded Thailand Ayuthaya Clumps
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the simple beauty and resilience of a peasant home near Ayuthaya, Thailand, in 1952. The image showcases a typical bamboo and frame cottage, built on a mound of fill above the flooded land. The use of fill was a common practice in the region to elevate homes above the annual monsoon floods. Surrounded by clumps of small trees, reminiscent of the Shan plateau, the scene transports us back to the 1950s. The serene setting is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the local people, who made the most of their surroundings to create a comfortable and sustainable living environment. The bamboo structure, with its intricate detailing, adds to the charm of this humble abode. The photograph, taken in the early 1950s, offers a glimpse into the past and the simple way of life that once existed in rural Thailand.
