| Page Views: 1,994 Last Visit to Bangkok: September, 2004 | From Bali Sunshine 2 Hectic Bangkok by balisunshine - last update: May 5, 2005 |
With my Indonesian Social Visa expired, it is time to leave the Bali Sunshine and head on to the chaotic and cloudy Bangkok city.
Definitely a maddening town.
About seven million people live in this capital, making it around 10 % of Thailand's population. |
| Just watching the traffic pass by..... |
|  | Thick traffic moves at a turtle pace filling busy intersections with a hovering haze and chaos spreads everywhere.
Several hundred vehicles are registered every day, and buses from every province brings in more fortune seekers looking for a slice of the pie. |
What is this Zen seeker doing here? Hmmm...I keep asking myself.
Smiles are not as warm as in my beloved Bali, but I am not suppose to compare.
Nor are the people as willing to have their pictures taken. So don't expect to see too many pics of the habitants here.
Prostitution is everywhere. But I guess we are all trying to make a living in some way or another.
So I test myself on how well I can keep my inner-core balanced, while the energy around me is full of stress.
And on I will go, to other places in search of that connection with nature that I love so much. |  | | Riding stress free on a Tuk Tuk |
