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.
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.
- Pros:Can buy those things I can't find in Bali
- Cons:Dishonesty in every corner and STRESS!!!!!!
- In a nutshell:Come 2 do what U need 2 do, and then head out!!!

Very interesting and informative page on Bangkok! Your tips on healthy food options are particularly helpful and thorough.
I got great services at Bumrungrad too
Hi, Andrea! I would also list among dangers = the drugs (and what follows if they are discovered with your luggage....)
The environment is beautiful at Leyana Spa - I like the garden, the plants and the atmosphere. Very professional therapists.... can relax
Bangkok is hectic, but has lots of great things to see/do too! Happy travels, Blu
Yes, Bangkok is hectic! Nice tips - cheers!
