The business of Low San Lee (right side of the yellow sign) seems to be closed down, the actual lettering of his business has been taken of, but the stains left behind clearly spell out his name ...

His name is not visible here, the frontgate is locked and debris has collected behind the gate.

If this has anything to do with the sign next to the front door remains an open question ...

The text in [brackets] is later added and has a slightly different colour, I'm not quite sure about the year though. 48 is 2548 (Buddhist calender) which equals 2005.

With thanks to Thai friends.
