【かつての日本人街】バンコク・スクンビット12の今｜築50年のアパートを内見し、日本人社会の変遷を歩く

Sukhumvit Soi 12 in Bangkok was once known as a Japanese town. About 50 years ago, many Japanese expatriates and their families lived in this area. What is it like now? This time, we explore a 50-year-old apartment building in search of traces of that era. Why did Japanese people gather in this place, and why did they disappear? The background to this lies in the presence of the Japanese school that relocated in 1982. We will introduce the history of Bangkok's Japanese community and the properties that still retain the atmosphere of the Showa era. ⸻ 🎥 Program Sponsors Wanted! 📍 Plan A: One-off Tie-up Video Production We will produce a dedicated video that deeply explores and introduces your product, service, or facility with high-quality documentary-style footage. 📍 Plan B: Monthly Program Sponsor (Title Sponsor) This plan will increase your company's recognition and credibility long-term by having your company name read out as a sponsor at the beginning and end of all "Walking Through Asia" videos.
