FORCED OUT: A VR Experience Inside Bangkok's Biggest Slum
Not far from Bangkok’s Michelin-starred restaurants and go-go bars stretches a sprawling, riverside slum home to roughly 100,000 people. Invited to live and work there seven decades ago before the Thai capital’s busy port went into decline, they now face mass eviction to make way for a riverside shopping mall.
One of them is Ratchani Cheausuwan, a 56-year-old resident who pushes past fear, despair and partial paralysis as the sole means of support for a family of four, including two grandchildren, one of whom has a mental disability.
Go beyond the headlines to meet Rachani and step inside Bangkok’s Khlong Toei community in this mixed 3D/180 and VR/360 news feature. Read the full story: https://coconuts.co/bangkok/features/khlong-toei-rising-anxiety-and-unity-in-bangkoks-biggest-slum/
