Another sunrise caught through the “foggy”
morning of Bangkok’s skyline. The city
that never sleeps; traffic is starting to build up in the streets again. The fastest way around is the skyrail or via
the river. A day of relaxation before
boarding the midnight flight back to Brisvegas and the adventure is slowly
coming to an end. Awesome fun. :)
After saying goodbye to Myanmar :(.
We hit the bright lights of Bangkok. Following
fast in the footsteps of Hong Kong and Singapore. Mixing the East with West. I find it one of the hardest cities to get
around but that also adds to the adventure; and practise makes perfect. I think it is the length of time sitting in
traffic gives you time to ponder on what direction to take. Then you find the Skybar on 63rd
floor; hello cocktails. Some may
recognise this bar from Hangover II movie, and isn’t there a cash in value from
that. For USD17 you can have your
Hangovertini, including sprig of rosemary; seriously don’t know ingredients,
but tasted ok. Pretty pricy for Asia but
worth the amazing view. Then just down
the street you can have dinner and beers included for less than 3 dollars. Whilst it is great to have a cocktail high
above the city skyline. The real Bangkok
is down in the streets, it’s the people, markets, bargaining, tuk tuks, list
goes on. Progress is progress but hope
this part never changes it’s what I love about the city.
Bangkok, some of you may have only seen it in
Hangover movies. While you can probably
find that side of Bangkok. Some of the
magic is exploring the side streets that engulf you as you walk further down
the lane. Produce, shops, restaurants,
all line in the hidden treasures of the paved roads. It makes part of the heartbeat of the city. That keeps it moving, and you are always
guaranteed to see some unique things.
Pretty remarkable.
