A rainy scene of Melaka river, some of the splashes on the painting is raindrops, painting under open sky with nature light is one of Tham’s signature art approaches, a surprise drizzle caught artist by surprise, an welcome surprise. “Accident doesn’t create good art, but sometimes best art is created by accident.”

A unique scene in Melaka river, the houses along the river has no back lane, instead they have “back river” there is no road access to the backdoor of houses here, they can only access them by river, carriage boats is hired to deliver goods from backdoor.

A reformed scene of Melaka River, the shore line are now fixed with concrete walkways for pedestrian and house owners. Breathing new element to heritage buildings with convenient walkway.

A busy Melaka river scene now gone, boats transporting goods, locals and tourists alike, frequently cruising in the river.
