Bangkok... hmmm

Came back
from Bangkok on the 29th of november. All I can say
about that trip is: It's damn tiring.
Its really a city City. Lots of traffic. Almost didn't manage to get a cab to reach the airport on time. Well I did reach the airport with a bit of time to spare.
Lots of air pollution too. Riding the tuk-tuk really does helps to constantly remind you of that. Oh and the tuk-tuk drivers are fine skillful drivers. How they skillfully squirm their way to get past the traffic is incredible. Unfortunately though, these vehicles do not go on the highways... so as much as I would like to get to the airport riding these, its not possible.
Lots of things you can buy there. Though I don't find it cheap. I'd dare say malaysia is cheaper. DVDs, JB is definitely way cheaper. T-shirt, got one for 150 baht (about 6 SGD), pretty good deal. Lesson learnt for me: Never buy souvenirs in shopping centers. They mark up the prices like crazy. You can always get it cheaper elsewhere on the roadsides or near tourist attraction places like the golden buddha temple.
Well enjoy the photos!
