"The City of Angels" Bangkok by genie47

Landed here not expecting much since I live in a city. Instead I was pleasantly surprised. Bangkok's slight disorderly nature appeals much to me. Maybe because I come from a really sterile city.

A temple chofah

Interestingly, you get awed by these monuments. Its like visiting many Taj Mahals.

On holidays they can be very crowded but there are many little unnoticed temples that are worth visiting besides the well-known ones. See my travelogues.

Patpong Night Market

I can't go on without mentioning the night life. I'm not a participant of such rituals but the shopping at Patpong is interesting for a first timer like my wife here.

Replica luxury watches, replica luxury pens, replica luxury bags, replica T-shirts. It is unreal!

• Pros:Inexpensive, food, shopping, temples, monuments
• Cons:Heat and traffic
• In a nutshell:Concentrated tourism
