I JUST met this guy about half an hour ago (I live in Bangkok) at a bus stop near my quiet neighborhood, far from his usual haunts. He's incredibly friendly and asked me for money to buy more markers with. Naturally, I gave him plenty.

Haha! Love that reply. The fact that the filmmaker found him is magic. God bless this street artist & BKK - what a place!

This moved me beyond words, thank you Raphael! We all know pain and art go together, but to see a person living through 100% pure pain and suffering, and not even knowing they're an artist.. it's a whole new thing

Pichai is not "crazy". "Crazy" is the world that mistreated, and still mistreats beautiful and simple people like him ... What a wonderful job Rafael! I'm still under the influence of the video. Very touched! Thank you for your art and Pichai's. Congratulations from Brazil. Here we have many situations similar to the one you filmed in such a delicate and honorable way. I wish you much success in your journey!

This was so very sad and beautiful all at once. I hope he finds the answers he needs to be at peace with the losses he is suffering from. All of your documentaries flow so perfectly from beginning to end. The music and the tone is mesmerizing. Stunning work!

"Let them think". Love it

Hello from Thailand! I am Thai and so fascinated by this documentary. The story of Pichai is interesting and from his speaking in Thai, I find he’s quite educated and his thinking is complicated. He even understands and can communicate a little in English, which most Thais cannot. Also, it’s great that you explain about “Art Brut” in the video. It makes sense and interesting how they make art as explained by Mr.Decharme. It’s “rule breaking, no limits and all about freedom”, which makes them artists. Great video!

Thanks a lot Nat

the music complements the videography so harmoniously, this was a moving experience for me that words cannot express. thank you :)

Awesome. I like the quest to find the answer. And of course, in my favorite city -- Bangkok.

You make incredible work! It deserves more recognition

Cant believe you found him! Great watch. Also cant believe his work is being exhibited at an art gallery and he's still on the streets. Couldn't they have just bought him a home from entry fee's/taking donations?? I thought he was going to say he likes being on the streets but he did say he wants a home.

i know right they are profiting off of this poor man

You ve found him!!!! Amazing ! I ve been taking photos of his work but i'm on another never ending project you'd be also interested! Congratulation and much respect for the research and all the light you've brought on this so genuine street artist.

this is definitely the best documentary that I have found on youtube, I been living in Bangkok Thailand for 6,5 years without knowing the artist behind these artworks for years. Now my life is complete thanks for such an amazing video documentary. You got a new subscriber!

What is astonishing is the sheer volume of uniquely linked coded ideas. He doesn't seem to be repeating the same pieces. You only have so many memories and they are relatively static from your own perspective, for him to be creating all of these different scribes means that he isn't really accessing memories from 20+ years ago, he's re-imagining his past with the things he sees every day. We know this when he wrote "Dubai" on one of the walls. 20 years ago Dubai was a barely-known barren desert. He picked that up in recent times, if not that very day as he was walking around. It seems like he has lost the ability to retain context. Without context, nothing makes sense.

Thank you for making this documentary. I often see him at bts station writting his mind out but not brave enough to go talk to him because he sometimes yell. The best thing in this video is how you treated him with respect. Good work guy. 🙂

I've been seeing him drawing on the pavement in front of my condominium since my high school years. Now I've graduated college and just stumbled upon this video. I'm glad to learn his name and some of his story. Beautiful video Raphael!

wow. as a local Thai, thanks a lot for your effort making this video clarifying what we’ve been wondering. Once I used to stand trying to read and understand one of his arts for 15min. Very interesting and educative video.

Wow - this documentary really moved me. Thank you so much for finding this man, and revealing his story, and capturing his words, and finding a translator and creating this video.

Your choice of music is so good. Best documentary I have seen in a while. Thank you!

thanks a lot, i composed them btw

He's not drawing maps, he's simply writing his life journals which seems to be scripted or coded. He clearly is intellectual prior his life on the street and still is till now. Bless him.👏👏

I haven’t watched this yet but I just found you and watched your other 3 docs and they are amazing and they are TV quality but better because it still has that personal touch from every person you met. You’re an amazing guy, if you keep making these you’ll always have 1 person to like and comment on any of your docs. I know they take time and I’m not saying to rush it, but I NEED MORE!!! 🤣.

Picha's art is exhibited thanks in some part to you Raphael Treza. I would like to add that you sir make some of the best documentaries I have ever had the pleasure to watch

Your documentaries are individual, insightful, very professional, and you are an exceptionally sensitive person. Much respect.

This is really interesting! I used to see a lot of these mind maps in the area around my apartments and had long wondered who created them. It was fascinating because they seemed to be written by an educated person rather than just an ordinary homeless man. And they were everywhere, at the bus stop, on the pavement or on ads posters. Even the newest ads posters which had just been put up in the area had these mind maps on them.

So a homeless person can't be educated?

Amazing video! I can't believe you were able to track him down. I walked by him one day shouting and writing frantically as if he'd made a huge breakthrough. Maybe he finally solved the mystery of his family's poisoning

You make great documentaries with such a smooth flow, with lovely soundtracks. Great work! Thanks ;)

Hi Raphael, I saw a video saying Pichai is someone who has time travelled and is stuck here for almost 10years and he is trying to solve so that he can go back to the year he came from. I wanted to know more, so I came to KZread and found your documentary. Thank you for clarifying, I am moved by your respect towards him and the way you treated Pichai. Keep up the good work. God bless. Love from India

He is a kind man 23:12. Thank you Raphael Treza for another epic documentary.

I saw Pichai again this morning 5/12/2020. I have just watched your Documentary again Raphael. In these times he is the true spirit and we are the ones that are trapped.

He was writing around the BTS Phra Kanong 2 years ago when he seem to be a lot more "agressive" than in this video, he was shouting out loud his anxiety while writing, so loud that you could hear from the other side of the road. Glad to see that he is not mad as that time and seem nearly "normal" as we are.

He was drawing at a bus stop near my house about an hour ago and he was really calm and friendly. I was apprehensive about saying anything to him because I didn't want to set him off, but now I'm glad I did. He let me take pictures of the drawings he made on the bus stop seats, and even encouraged me to, but only after I gave him ฿60 to buy more markers with. I'm glad I caught him in a good mood. He drew a "map" of Southeast Asia on the sidewalk for me.

Awesome documentary! I am glad you found him and didn’t give up even though others said he was crazy.

Brilliant documentary as always. One thing i like about your work is the interesting topics you choose to cover, honey hunters from nepal to the penan of borneo or the kalbeli of rajesthan. Amazing insights you have been able to document. We're always waiting for more documentaries from you.

Wow, just wow once again my mind can't comprehend how your documentaries are so incredibly powerful and simple at the same time, you are so talented.

I thoroughly enjoyed this mini documentary and feel my life has been enriched by knowing Pichai's fascinating story. Thank you for your curiosity and diligence.

Stumbled across your documentaries today at work. Great work bro!

The Universe expresses itself through his hands, transferred through ink and manifested on the city of Bangkok. You were blessed to find him.

Bro this documentary it's amazing, it's real masterpiece. I love when he offer to you the food that the woman gave him. What a great job. Thanks!!. Peace

Your work is just unbelievable!

Great Work Raphael. Im into this since hours, watching these paintings. You did a wonderful job here, thank you for that.

I don't know how you find all your subjects for your documentaries but please keep it up. Amazing

Raphael - your work never disappoints. Your ability to show us a unique and singular perspective from the world we know is truly extraordinary. Thank you for sharing this thought provoking film. I hope you continue to create and that you some day get the recognition that you so truly deserve.

Beautiful documentary deserves much more appreciation 👍 loved it

Not only your documentaries I also love your music. You're a true artist

That was Amazing ❤️❤️. The most fascinating documentary. Keep up the good work bro

I have recognized his drawings many times. they are everywhere. interesting video. great work!

amazing story! thanks bro. I love this city and walked with you through familiar places. good luck to you man, good luck to Pichai, good luck to everyone!

Absolutely amazing Documentary! You captured the feverish feeling of finding something that doesn't want to be caught...and yet when caught there is such a peace and beauty of it's simplicities! He was a simple man, caught in a complex mind-frame. I care for him deeply. Thank you @Raphael Treza

Beautiful piece and very refreshing especially during the times that we're going through here in the USA. Humbling to watch I enjoyed it thanks man.

This is one of the most interesting Documentary i've ever seen. Thank you!

Nice little documentary. As a resident of Bangkok and having seen his work many times, I always did wonder about the author. Thank you kindly for making this and shedding some light on an amazing individual.

I never knew this before even i am Thai. Thanks, it's interested. ❤❤

Just a quick update. Some of the art world started to recognize Pichai's work and his creations were exhibited many times in Bangkok Art and Cultural Centre in the center of the city. They also published some parts of his life story there with some of his drawings and photos.

Oh wow! This documentary touched my heart! Well done brother! Thank you 🙏🏻

Very well done. I’ve heard of him before, but it’s interesting to see that his thought process is exhibited by others around the world and he, himself, doesn’t consider his drawings art but perhaps more of a never-ending process for him to deal with the loss of his family.

Great video. It's wonderful you were able to approach him and talk to him. He was recently staying at the BTS closest to me and I walked past him and his fascinating art many times.

Amazing adventure. Saw your other documentaries too. Please don't stop creating. :)

This was excellent, keep it up! Much love ❤️ from NYC.

Wow... the mystery about the "Mad Professor" unfolded... Have seen his work countless times in the streets of bangkok... And have seen him without knowing who he is. Thanks a lot for your wonderfull work, your lasting search and your compassionate way to approach him. What an impressive character he is even though he may be haunted by things from his past and he may be living in a world slightly apart from ours...

Raphael, again I'm blown away. Thank you 1000 times, it's reassuring that oddly intriguing things you document are of interest to others. I love being left speechless and full of questions that please me to even consider asking them to myself, it's nutritious and rewarding. Do you know you are pleasing people all over the world?
