Each one carries the artist's handwritten caption, with place and date, and a small red Thai seal stamp. The first shows the red-and-gold Rong Kueak Shrine in Talat Noi, with its dragon-crested roof, lanterns, guardian lions and incense urns, washed in warm watercolour. The second, dated 12 Nov 2022, shows the Mother Roaster Café building in Talat Noi, a wooden-balconied shophouse wrapped in a riot of yellow, pink and blue street art. The third, dated 26 Aug 2022, is a black-ink scene of Sampheng in Chinatown, with a porter hauling a towering stack of crates down a crowded market lane. The backs are printed with two different postcard layouts, one with a little vintage car, so they're ready to post. They also look great framed as a trio, and they're in good condition. Sold as a set of 3.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery scene has a story. Sampheng was settled by Teochew Chinese traders in 1782, when King Rama I moved them to make way for the Grand Palace. Talat Noi grew next door as one of Bangkok's oldest Chinese neighbourhoods. Rong Kueak means \"shoe factory\", a nod to the Hakka shoemakers who once lived around this little shrine. Mother Roaster was opened in 2019 by Ploenpit Rianmek, \"Auntie Pim\", who found her calling as a barista at the age of 70.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68136001798357,"sku":null,"price":650.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/6006\/3189\/files\/vc-dscf2694.jpg?v=1794137162","url":"https:\/\/smallthings.in\/products\/set-of-3-hand-drawn-bangkok-sketch-postcards-talat-noi-and-chinatown","provider":"Small Things","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
