Bangkok

Hi. My name is Tao and I'm an urban planner. I currently practice in Thailand. My interests span across a wide array of things, from sustainable urban development to architecture, from ubersensual, hyperstylized photography to minimalist design aesthetic. From Blockbuster movies to independent films.
My blog is a window into what goes on in my life and in the pulsating city of Bangkok. I genuinely believe that everyone has a right to living green, living fair, and living aware, but still living fun. You can reach me at nrugkhapan[at]gmail.com
