The same sense of regional unity was evident in the inaugural Photo Bangkok extravaganza in July, with more than 60 Southeast Asian photographers displaying their work in 20 galleries. Piyatat Hemmatat mounted the Bt6-million festival, recruiting dozens of Thai artists, curators and galleries for the cause. Among the standout shows was "Pause" at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre and "Rediscovering Forgotten Thai Masters of Photography" at Bangkok University.
