Restaurant Security System Bangkok Thailand streetphotography

in #streetphotography7 years ago (edited)

Whenever this restaurant near me closes for a few days, they put up their fabric security system and apparently all the kitchen equipment, tables, chairs, tv, and machinery is still there when they return.

I know they are really going to be closed for some days. Aside from the sheet; the chairs are up on the tables.

As you can see, there is absolutely nothing stopping you from walking right in, but no one ever does.

I’ve seen this set up a number of times over the last year. If I could read the sign they have wedged in place, I would know the date they will re-open.

When they close each night, they do not even do this. They just turn off their lights and equipment and go home.

I am always in awe and in love with Thailand.

My Canon ELPH160 point and shoot camera was used for this shot.

I’m grateful I lost half my size and only sorry it took me until I was 50 years old to figure it out. It’s been over seven years now since I had to worry about my weight. What a relief this is .

AND REMEMBER !!!

(watch my 7 second video by @zeroooc and #steemgigs. I use steemgigs service by @surppasinggoogle and you should too. Steemians helping each other )

The whole Napoleon Dynamite movie is worth your time.

Sort:  

That's when we realize the culture and education of the people, in my country you leave that system to secure and when you return you can not find anything that you left

lol - same with me from back in the states. They have everything locked down over there.

There are bars on windows, as a standard, just 15 minutes from where I live... and they still get broken into! It's sweet , inspiring, and sadly almost surreal to think about just shutting off the lights and walking away. That's a beautiful level of trust and respect . Resteeming and tweeting and facebooking this post! :)

I think they kept something as a security. I think there are Dogs kept.

We do have dogs here, but they are soi dogs - belonging to nobody and they don't care about people at all or guard anything. I was just at the atm and a dog was right in front of it. When I walked up to the machine, he just got up and walked away. I'm going to be in trouble if I ever leave this country with all my new habits :)

ya you are right.

Lots of trust is involved, but maybe one or two things can go missing.

Also, Sharon, we created a Discord server for foreign Steemians in Thailand to connect and chat. It's the place where we can organise meet-ups. Do you have a Discord profile yet? Here's your invite: https://discord.gg/R7GusbA

I cannot believe you are telling me this - I cannot get to discord. It is blocked and I have tried 10 times and spent hours on it. I get some kind of spinning thing that won't stop or let me use it. Someone told me it was either Thailand or my wifi provider.

Discord works for us. Try again. And here is another link (same one but might work):

Do you have an account? If you do, send us your Discord username, we can invite you that way.

That I guess is the beauty of Thailand, in Israel we lock up everything. Twice.

America too - this is new to me, and I have more examples of it. I wonder why some cultures can do this and others cannot. This is a poor neighborhood and another common thing is that many restaurants and food carts give poor people free food - all they have to do is ask. I have never seen that anywhere I have ever been before.

I think this is the strength of a close community

Great photo. Have you eaten at that food stall?

I have a few times - they make chicken which I do not eat and pork which I do - it is very delicious and inexpensive :)

Thailand is sweet city

Yes, it is. Lovely in every way.

its really wonderful activity. #Thailand is beautiful and nice city, your working about security checking at street photography is so good.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it.

Looks can be deceiving. One has to look behind the curtain to see the full picture of security at work.
