The Bridge Remembers the Water

1958 vs 2025

Before Bangkok belonged to automobiles, it belonged to water.

Beside Wat Phitchaya Yatikaram (วัดพิชยญาติการาม), this canal was not scenery but infrastructure, carrying monks, merchants, produce, building materials and families through Thonburi (ธนบุรี).

The bridge was a small but essential crossing between communities divided by water.

The temple behind it was rebuilt in 1841 by That Bunnag (ทัต บุนนาค), a powerful nobleman tied to Siam’s expanding maritime trade during the reign of Rama III (รัชกาลที่ ๓).

Chinese stone, ceramics and ornament entered the monastery while its enormous prang (พระปรางค์) rose above a district still governed by boats and tides.

Then Bangkok turned toward the road.

Engines replaced oars, canals narrowed or disappeared, and electrical wires filled the sky above waterways.

The bridge itself was eventually rebuilt and beautified, but the canal remains beneath it, quietly explaining why the temple and neighborhood were arranged this way.

Remove the water from the story, and old Bangkok becomes almost impossible to understand.

@Fitzy__07 No attempt to even look at the ball never mind play it. Madness how folk can say that happens a lot and not a penalty, you are supposed to play the ball not the man. One of the stupidest bits of defending you will ever see

Interesting to see if the mainstream Scottish media will be as quick to pile the pressure on their wee pal Del the way they do with managers who haven’t even started as badly as this.

[Alan @hardiiia]

Get it right up you @tedermeathead 6 out of 6 and flying. What about your mate getting 1 point out of 6? But the champions are dysfunctional. You don’t have enough shovels to bury the bad news from the south side of town

Congratulations to Celtic for clinching the 2026/27 Scottish Premiership title after a hard fought two games.

[Alan @hardiiia]

How anyone that played the game as a pro can say that’s not a penalty is beyond me.

Brick, Fire, Memory

The old ordination hall of Wat Ratchathani has existed in three forms: as a temple, as a ruin, and as a memory.

The Fine Arts Department places its origins in the late Ayutthaya period. It was restored again around the reigns of Rama V and Rama VI, carrying the architecture of an older Siam into the twentieth century.

Then, in 1968, fire came.

The hall was devastated and abandoned for decades. Trees grew, generations passed, and what had once seemed permanent became another fragment of the past.

Only in 2018 was the old ordination hall finally restored to the form we see today.

Yet the building had another means of survival. In 1914, more than half a century before the fire, a royal account of the Supreme Patriarch's journey through the northern Monthon recorded exactly what stood at Wat Ratchathani:

“This temple possesses many substantial and permanent structures. Its ordination hall and vihāra are built of brick and roofed with tiles. They have chofa finials and bai raka ornaments, with carved designs upon the gables. Inside stands a principal Buddha image in the Sukhothai style.”
