Description
Back to the year 1967 when
the convenience stores and department
stores have not yet been extensively placed,
a market was established on Soi Ladprao
47 where various kinds of fresh food, veg-
etable, and fruit were available for selling.
It was also the meeting point of the people
living in Ladprao and nearby area with the
only reason for supporting the extension
of living area for middle-class ones in al-
most 50 years ago. At that time, Ladprao
was considered the “zone-three” area, lo-
cated away from the central city and I, as
the one growing up not far from the mar-
ket, have been viewing the lives and un-
countable memories therein.
Nowadays, the name “Saphansong
market” or “The 2nd Bridge market” was
changed to “Subchanpan market”, derived
from the surname of the landlord. How-
ever, many people are more familiar with
the old name.
One thing that I am interested in
and would like to present about this market
is “the cart caravan”. Apart from its usage
as the vehicle for selling things, many of
them are the residences for the workers or homeless people. Some are more than 30 years
old, parked, and wrecked. Many carts have been applied for the use of the owners too.
More than 30 years of impression I have with the living in that area, I have met
with the merchants, vagrants, and workers living there. The carts represent them even
on the day that they are away and show how they depend on themselves. We can see the
creativity, belief, the way these people lives throughout the things displayed on the carts.
Sufficiency living and experiences can be seen via that tiny space.
This artwork is the combination between imagination and the truth, becoming the
ideal cart with three principles under the word “Sufficiency” from the living of market
people. They are “Goodness”, “Patience”, and “Tolerance”. I can always feel these three
words from the lives in the market and I also would like to present the scent of Thai in
the combination era throughout this creative work.
