She who must be obeyed started her weekend today and announced she wanted to go and try out her new Lomo camera. This sudden enthusiasm was in no way related to the constant nagging she has been receiving from me (“don’t you like your present?”, “when are you going to use that camera I bought you?”, “if you loved me, you’d use it”).
Luckily, we had a new place to go. Kwan, owner of the RC car racing track, has spent the last few months eating less and working out more and has transformed himself from Mr. Fatty to Mr. Toned. I was impressed, not so much with his new body because I could never look like that, but with the location where the photos were taken; an abandoned nightclub with a load of graffiti.
Inside is the rather spooky dance floor which is now a pond:
There are steps leading upstairs to god knows what. It would take abs like Kwan to check those out, so we didn’t. Instead, we ponced around the outside where there was plenty of graffiti to point a camera at:
She who must be obeyed had her strange dolls with her and was pointing her new camera at them. I decided they deserved some digital attention (the 75mm is really very very good):
As the afternoon wore on, the doll started losing clothes until a casual onlooker would see a pair of idiots pointing cameras at a naked doll in front of a graffiti laden wall. This is not normal behaviour and we received some strange looks from the camera shop when we picked up the developed films later. Will share some of the scanned analogue masterpieces in due course, but meantime here are some digitally captured plastic mammaries:
You have permission to feel strangely aroused.

2012-08-17| Chang Noi saysI have a weird love with photos of abandoned building …. why? What happened there? And what is still happening there? And the Batman-building is one of those buildings in Pattaya.
Cute Korean / Japanese doll with small body & big head and even bigger eyes.
2012-08-17| Spike saysShe who must be obeyed informs me that it has been an abandoned building for at least ten years. The lower floor is empty and filled with water (see photo). A hole has been knocked in the wall that was built to block off access to the upper floors. I have no idea what happens up there and no plan to find out! The dolls are called Blythe dolls and are apparently collectible.
2012-08-17| Grant saysThere is an abandoned cinema just off the main square in Phra Putthabat that I’d dearly love to do something with. Unfortunately I’d also like to restore the Tharua - Phra Putthabat Railway, dreams are free!
2012-08-17| Chang Noi saysAs long as I lived in Thais SunCity the building was empty …. due too much Seang Som consumption I did forget the story about the empty building. In smaller version it looks like the 15-storey concrete building in Khon Kaen city. But never fished so no history.
