17 MARCH 2015 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A stairwell in the old Customs House in Bangkok. The old Customs House was once the financial gateway to Thailand (before 1932 called Siam). It was designed by an Italian architect in the 1880s. In the 1950s, customs moved to new, more modern building and the Customs House became the headquarters for the Marine firefighters. The firefighters now live in the decrepit buildings with their families. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
