bangkok two





Some more pictures of Bangkok. Bangkok is a big sprawling urban mess, always moving with, it seemed to me, not much of a soul, just a way station to better parts of Thailand and south east Asia.
1. Offerings of joss sticks, incense, at a temple.
2. The one thing that Bangkok has in abundance, other than child prostitution, drugs, and traffic that is, temples. These spires are in one of the main temple complexes.
3. The best picture that I took in Thailand, the roofs of three temples.
4. A long corridor at the royal palace.
5. My first real sit down Thai food, in a real Thai restaurant, boar curry. Eating this, with all the fresh herbs and spices, was like chowing down on a garden, all the flavors and spices exploding in little drops in my mouth.
