A tuk-tuk hums forward like a stubborn memory, its small TAXI sign flickering against the dark. Beside it, a motorbike cuts through the humid air — two figures, helmets reflecting the city’s heartbeat. Bangkok does not sleep. And somewhere between all the noise, Jash Manuel met Supassarra to discover the city through her eyes.
“Walking along Charoen Krung, what has been one of my favourite parts of Bangkok, with Gift was a dream,” the photographer reflects. “From small independent shops and what felt like a real community, it felt like everything I wished my slice of the Philippines was. Going through alleyways and even a working post office, it’s fascinating to see the small things that everyone else takes for granted but I never quite got to have. It’s a city that lives, and in more ways than one lets you live.”
