The Photography of Dr. Jeffrey P. Harper

On March 23, 2025, my buddy John and I met up on Silom Road near the Hindu temple to start the evening taking photos at the nearby market street before ending the evening at a blues bar neither of us had been to.

People stopping on their way home to grab some food for dinner were happy to see this cart.

A street market across from the Hindu temple was a photographer's delight.

Carts of seasonal fruits lined the side street.

As always, many different kinds of fruit are available.

A juice cart is a good place to meet up with friends for conversation.

Fruit as far as the eye can see!

All of these are my favorites.

Bulk cracklin pork  . . . to bring home.

With the light fading, we headed back to the Hindu temple and a south Indian restaurant next door.

There are many small shops selling votive flower garlands for worship at the Hindu temple.

Such beautiful work . . .

After a deli.cious south Indian meal (Dossai Massala), we headed out to the blues club, about 10 blocks away.  We took a short-cut through the old Silom Village . . . now nearly deserted.

Before COVID, Silom Village was a tourist hot spot: live traditional Thai music and dance, and lots of good food.  I do not know why it is deserted now.

Night streeet photography is one of my favorite things to do . . . and in Bangkok it is very rewarding.

I know this area very well.  This is my favorite Japanese restaurant in Bangkok, Hanaya 1976.

Our walk to the blues club took us down some pretty dark side streets.  I feel completely safe in these places in Bangkok.

A speeding tuk-tuk photo-bombed my night photo.

Our destination, the Bangkok Mojo Music Lovers Bar.  he club was very small, but the live bands were very good . . . although the seats were very uncomfortable for me.
