With a population upwards of eight million people and at 1,569 km², Bangkok is a sprawling metropolis with a heartbeat and millions of stories, relationships and struggles flowing through its veins. Life in Bangkok means different things for different people, and nobody who visits or lives here will experience it the same two ways. Here’s a collection of images that show a glimpse of everyday life in Bangkok.

Life isn’t always easier in the big city
Ordinary lives are lived in the backstreets
A melting pot of culture, Bangkok’s Chinatown is always lively
Playing futsal in urban spaces
Street restaurants are a staple of all residents
Taking a break
Heading to work
Traffic is unavoidable…
…and not just on the roads
All Thai men are called to serve their faith
Life moves pretty fast here
…thought not for everyone
It’s a bit of a concrete jungle…
…though green spaces aren’t too hard to come by
Young or old, Thai or tourist – Bangkok is for everyone
