Bangkok 400 years
Yuthana Boonorm x Supattharachai Chuetamasorn
Bangkok in 400 years from now, everything would be separated in 2 part, a part on ground and on the sky. Upper 80th floor is civilisation. Everyone was rich. They used sky trains, private cars and solar bicycles for transportation. You could walk from one tower to another tower by skyway. It was very comfortable. Everything that i am telling you might be like a performance but in normally you could go and travel to any places by Warp Lift. People could relax by eating from the luxury restaurant. Dress, suit and other costumes were not the same as sci-fi movie. We wore the casual dress and suit but they have to look only luxurious.
Lower the 80th floor is very local. People came from another provinces out of Bangkok. They traveled to the centre and tried to find jobs and money for living. In every area even in the sunny day, there was still dark because the sunlight could not come in blocking by the high building above them. The transportation was terribly bad. They used motorcycles, local buses and local boats. In rainy season, the flood came in every 3 months. That time boat was the best way to transport. There were more poor people and space area got very tight and crowd. No criminality because they were all bandits and wanted to go to the upper floor for pillage.
Most of people in Bangkok had happy lives and were ready to celebrate “Bangkok 400 Years Festival” by themselves.
