Bangkok: Breeze and Soundscapes of Chai Prakan Park

Welcome to season two of The Happy Listening Project! This season, we'll take you on a sonic journey across Thailand, from Bangkok to the islands of Samui, Phangan and Tao, and from Khao Sok National Park to Raylay Beach. Join us as we traverse this magical country and delight in the sounds of its diverse ecosystems, from restful beaches to vibrant rainforests. A note on noise pollution: You may notice some human-made noises filtering into our natural soundscape recordings. While Millie has done her best to remove disruptive noises from motor vehicles and construction zones, some noise pollution remains on the audio files because it has become part of the soundscapes of Thailand. We encourage you to notice and reflect on these noises. We hope these tracks will help raise awareness of the sonic pollution caused by humans and our impact on natural soundscapes. Through awareness, we become empowered to take action towards protecting the natural soundscapes of our local ecosystems. We begin our travels in Bangkok. Let the sounds guide you as we take a walk and pause at Santi Chai Prakan Park, away from the tourist crowds. From here, we will board a boat to visit the Wat Arun temple. Take a moment to relax and enjoy the cool breeze on the hottest day of the year. Listen to the birds chirping, and stay tuned for geckos as they pop out to say hello. This is a no-loop audio file recorded by Millie Wissar.
