Brand or No Brand
As the society grows bigger and wealthier, brand-name materials become even more desirable objects. People consider the exchange value more important than the actual value of the product. That changes the way people see and live their lives, Thus it changes their culture. As this picture shows, a university student is holding a very expensive handbag. Though with no income, she is determined to acquire it. The culture is getting more and more materialistic each day and people lose their touch with themselves, nature and their actual needs.

buy and sell & eat and drink
As people from other cites move to Bangkok, they bring along their culture and lifestyle. This is a picture of a market in one of the most populated areas in Bangkok. As you can see, people here choose shop in a stall-style market, rather than in shopping malls. Merchants often cook and sell right within their stalls. This creates a new lifestyle and also new culture.

Fishy Fish!!!
In my opinion, "culture" is disappearing and being replaced with "cultures". As the world becomes smaller and easier to connect, thanks to all the advanced technologies, different cultures emerge together. As any typical Thais would know that Japanese food is among the most popular in Thailand. It comes in various forms; from 5-star hotels to carts on the sidewalk. People love sushi. Though it is still being recognized as a Japanese recipe, I strongly believe that one day it will be a part of Thai cuisine as it already is in Thai culture.
