‘YOUTH’ by Chardchakaj Waikawee
The Brazenness of Bangkok’s Street Youth
Blind Magazine
Blind Magazine explores Chardchakaj Waikawee’s YOUTH, a body of analog photographs capturing the energy, individuality, and defiance of young people living on the margins of Bangkok. Shot between 2008 and 2020, the series reflects Waikawee’s raw and instinctive approach, using expired film, repaired cameras, and unpredictable processing techniques to turn each photograph into a physical trace of time, memory, and human connection.

Dazed
Dazed explores Chardchakaj Waikawee’s idea of YOUTH — not as a matter of age, but as an energy rooted in curiosity, resilience, and the courage to keep going. Through intimate portraits of the people who form the foundations of Bangkok’s everyday life, Waikawee captures a spirit that persists despite hardship, revealing the pride, individuality, humour, and humanity of those often overlooked by the city around them.
