BANGING OUT BANGKOK

Phew! 
I’m back…
Jet lagged…
A bit sick (actually major) from something or other.
But all in all?
The trip of a lifetime!
I’ll sum up each city this week the best I can.
Bangkok….
Beautiful new city
Beautiful old city…
Loved the open night markets...
a.k.a. red light districts…
Such as Patpong and, Soi Cowboy,
What?
I’m a writer. It’s research! I had to see for myself.
And actually...
Those districts, at best, seemed silly to me...
Or at least, pathetic.
But the new riverside market, Asiatique?
Awesome!
Also awesome, the food in Bangkok…
And the people.
And of course the unbelievably gorgeous temples.
I only spent a day and a half in Bangkok
But it was enough to make me fall in love...
And I would definitely go back.  
Here’re a few photos… 
Me at the Asiatique riverside market



















Getting around by boat
Getting around in a tuk tuk
Just one of many temples at the Grand Palace
World's largest reclining Buddha


Just one of many Buddhas
At the Grand Palace, don't know what these are called


Me pooped after a long day, hence no smile


Well, that's all for today...
Obviously there are more photos...
But these are my impressions of Bangkok.

Always, Em-Musing
