Bangkok

What a city! I wasn’t sure what to expect but in the few days we’ve been in Bangkok, we’ve seen such diversity from high end designer outlets to unfortunate sightings of families living under shacks along what looks to be a sewage stream. The place is crazy with scooters and tuk tuks everywhere. We’ve seen scooters carrying more than most car boots or families of five, or a fridge or containers lashed to 10 feet tall. Their traffic light system is interesting as both green and red apparently mean go and zebra crossings… no idea what they’re for. Despite this, it’s a great city with so much to offer.

We’ve visited the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, temples, Khao San road, Chatuchak market, red light districts, Baiyoke revolving observation deck overlooking Bangkok, Centralworld mall, Lumphini park and enjoyed sunset cocktails at Octave rooftop bar. A packed few days but an amazing city to explore. Another few days left in Bangkok before we call and end to Thailand and move on to Laos.Read more
