How/When did you start this series?
After work, while driving back to home in the night; I often saw many sleeping security guards every night around Bangkok. I thought that was not quite good and safe for the residents. Until I’ve attended a photo series workshop with SPT (Street Photo Thailand) which I thought this story can be used for this class. So, l drove around Bangkok after midnight for 3 months between March to June 2018 until the project has finished. Finally, I want to thank my masters — Akkara naktamna, Rammy Narula and Jad Jasada for good advice in the class.

What do you want to tell the audience about this work?
Don’t worry, they were always sleepy in the night time.
