A collection of works by Nobuyoshi Araki, one of the leading photographers of the 20th century, ``Bangkok Photo Exhibition Tom Yam's Adventures''. Even now, at the age of 80, he remains energetically active, holding exhibitions and publishing photo books both in Japan and abroad. In recent years, works have been exhibited in Japan mainly at Takaishii Gallery and art space AM by Hisako Motoo, and this book is also an art production by Motoo. This is a collection of works composed of illustrations taken by Araki, who visited Bangkok, Thailand, in early December 1998 for the exhibition ``Street Portraits'' held there, and photographed the city during the day and at night. During the day, he photographs elderly people and young boys with what Araki describes as a ``straight-forward approach.'' At night, I visit gay bars, snack bars, cabaret clubs, etc. and photograph hostesses, prostitutes, etc.
