Greg has had a special connection to the place over the past few months because he just finished organizing an event there for 300 guests last Friday, which is why we've been off air for the past two weeks as activity and stress reached their peak. Tim begins by explaining his early days twenty years ago as a traveller in Vietnam and how he picked up photography as a way to document his travels. Eventually he made his way to Thailand and managed to pass through Hualamphong in its heyday. The guys discuss Huamlamphong's design by an Italian architect and its opening in 1916, making it a Bangkok institution for more than 100 years.","meta_description":"In a ReCast episode from season 7, Greg interviews well known Bangkok-based photographer Tim Russell about his book 'Bangkok Station,' which focuses (lite…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2652,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-bangkok-podcast-419399/episodes/photographer-tim-russell-on-the-fading-glory-of-hualamphong-station-s8-e34-classic-recast/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bangkok-podcast-419399/photographer-tim-russell-on-the-fading-glory-of-hualamphong-station-s8-e34-classic-recast.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
