Holla, City of Squalor!!!

To take a quote from Hangover 2….as they say, it’s tough for the sequel to match the original, but this one’s not bad…..I’ve been in Bangkok for a few days now and I am starting to get the hang of the transit system, it’s actually pretty good and with the subway and skytrain system, it’s fairly easy (and cheap) to get around. This is the first time I have really been to a city of this size (about 11 million including greater Bangkok) and I gotta tell ya, this place is big and dirty which is both good and bad…the traffic is constantly jammed, the smog is horrific and the city is dirty….on the other hand, this is a world class city and you can find anything you want here, the shopping is incredible and mostly relatively cheap and there are many beautiful sites to see within the city limits….

One of many huge shopping malls, MBK has 7 floors of "everything"

Metal detectors at all the mall entrances....life in a big city I guess...

I've never seen so many scooters in my life!!! This is just a small group of them and they weave in and out of traffic like madmen.

These shrines are all over the place...their numbers would rival 7 elevens and Starbucks put together...

The rainy season brings these thundershowers that don't last long, but dump a whole lot of water...it was much worse than the picture shows!!!

Just a highrise I thought was neat looking...

A Muay Thai boxing match just outside MBK shopping mall....just out in the open air.

A "scooter taxi" they can only take one passenger, but they go anywhere, even sidewalks!!

Khao San Road....well known within the backpacking community...hostels, cheap food/beer and lots of bars...what more could you want??

Takin a ferry up the Chao Phraya river.....Don't think I'd wanna go for swim in that...

One of those long boats with the crazy outboard motors..made famous in a James Bond flick (can't remember which one)

Was this in Hangover 2???

Weekend Chatuchak market...35 acres!!!!...are you kidding? this place was huge...I needed my gps just so I wouldn"t lost...everything could be bought here, from scooters to animals...

Something grilling on one of the many food carts all over town...cheap and tasty!!! I only stuck with eating the stuff I could identify...

So, I’m a little mixed on my visit to Bangkok….I am definitely glad I am spending some time here, but I kinda can’t wait to leave….don’t think I would come back unless just passing through, but that’s just me…..I still have a day or so left here to finish up my dental work (turned out that I needed a root canal as well) which is why I have been here for about a week, then I’m gonna grab a flight up to Chiang Mai (northern Thailand) and hang out there for a little while…gonna see if I can find me an elephant!! maybe even do some trail riding in the mountains…
