In 2000, I was a teenager hanging out with my friends and could not return home after midnight. We decided to sleep along the streets in Siem Reap province and we thought it fun. In 2006, after attending a holy prayer and performance at a Hindu temple in Ubud, Bali, I was caught in a heavy rain and could not pass the jungle that stood between
the temple and my accommodation. I decided to spend the night at the courtyard of a shop, alone.
In 2011, I travelled for the first time to France and saw people sleeping in metros and along the streets. I was told that people die from sleeping on the streets every winter. By the end of 2011, I had begun photographing the people who sleep at Pak Klong Talad market in Bangkok. Their situations seem to
 be different as these are people who worked in the market. With these experiences, I began to shoot After 12 in Phnom Penh, unearthing that beyond homelessness and poverty, there are other reasons that turn people to spend the night on the streets such as disability, family issues, issues of exile, homosexual, violence, and so on.
