View from the hotel, over the city to a not so distant thunder storm
Half of the city got drenched, we missed it. The elevated road is one of the many toll ways
View down to the river from my hotel room. Thanks to Tim for accommodation in the excellent Holiday Inn
Lights go to green, mass launch of all the bikes then the cars. How there aren't hundreds killed every day I'll never understand
Bangkok BTS or Sky Train, newly built above the cities streets, fully automatic driverless service
Some of the Sky Trains are brightly coloured adverts...! It's all impeccably clean though
A normal amount of traffic seen below the Sky train, image how many cars there would be extra without the public transport...!
This is the national stadium, horse racing, golf, football etc all played here
By Siam sky train station, is the new Siam Paragon mall, with fountains outside,,,,,
.....looked a great place to cool down, but the water stopped...!
Bangkok rush hour, or not so much of a rush...!
Almost every street corner has a little stall selling something, some look great, some turn your stomach by sight or even smell
Japanese craze sweeping Thailand, is B-B-Q indoor DIY lunch on a metal hot plate
We hadn't a clue, but both lived to tell the tale...!
"Tuk-Tuk" or, a dice with death, street kamikaze taxi service
Above the main roads, beneath the sky train, markets spring up. People sell anything, anywhere they can get shade...!
Street market bargin hunting...shall I, shant I, then haggle for your life...!
This is "Pantip plaza" the entire mall is dedicated solely to electronics...4 floors...!
A pub in PatPong street market, where Thai Elvis and band plus dancers appear! "Ruve me tender" and "Rlue suede shoes"
Thai Tom Jones & the lovely dancers...! This has to be seen to be believed...! Next time I go, I'll bring the dancer home (I wish)
