Tae Yoon: Life from 2006-2021

i recently had to print a large amount of word documents, and found this printing place on sukhumvit soi 29. 

the owner of the shop was very nice, and from the get-go, i appreciated the fact that he didn't try to overcharge me or rip me off in any way. 

we talked for a little bit, and i eventually ended up asking some questions about his business. he told me that it's been open for more than 30 years now, and that he's seen the neighborhood change immensely in the past three decades. then he immediately started talking about his "KIP MARK II SHACOH 36" printer, which he told me was the first one ever in thailand. the machine is quite old now, but it's still a massive beauty, and i could tell how proud was is of it. he also noted that while other KIP MARK II SHACOH 36s did inevitably arrive in thailand after his, he believes that his machine is one of the last ones remaining in the country---and even if others do still exist, he was certain that his is in the best condition. 

another thing i really loved was that behind the KIP MARK II SHACOH 36, he had an old-school panorama of nyc.
