Heady exhiliration all the way

This time I was here for a total of 7 days - still not enough time for me to explore and savour this city. Bangkok is not beautiful, but she is extremely seductive :-) The shopping malls, whizzing about in the BTS and Metro, my favourite Chao Phraya Express boat rides, dazzling wats, quiet areas in the heart of the city ...etc .. Always something going on here.

So what draws me here ?
1) The wonderful locals
2) the numerous wats
3) the street food
4) Salsa dancing ! :D
5) shopping

Updates are in s-l-o-w progress :-)


Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Its energy !
  • Cons:Adrenaline rush from Bike taxis :O
  • In a nutshell:Absolutely love it. One MUST experience Bangkok !

    Cool Main Pic! Are those coloured beads? Stones? Thailand with its beautiful Temples is on our wish list. The "Phad Thai" looks yummy.
