My First Taste of Bangkok
Friday, October 31, 2014
I finally witnessed for myself Asia’s most notorious city.
Throughout the flight, I couldn’t help but to picture Bangkok the way The Hangover has portrayed it to be – treacherous and very chaotic. Being the world’s top tourist destination, there is no way that it should be sidelined in anyone’s travel list, however dangerous it is claimed to be.
This trip to Bangkok was solely for shopping and food, and although I am very tempted to upload pictures of all my hoards, that would, however, make this post a very lengthy and boring one. Ending this post with a few pictures taken throughout the trip:

Love it or
hate it, people just can’t stop themselves from traveling to this fast-paced
cosmopolitan city. Moderation is hardly the word used to describe its people
and the activities here. Instead, extremity and intensity are all that fuel the
city.
Majestic
temples of infinite sizes, immeasurable glistening lights stretched along the
streets, ceaseless surge of traffic that brims the freeway, adept drivers
vigorously maneuvering their tuk tuks through the crowd – this city provides an atmosphere so distinctive from the rest.
Rush hour traffic |
Lively and
hectic, this city is a melting pot where many global citizens call home. With an
escalating number of capitalists permeating the local economy, it is only a
matter-of-course that luxurious high-rise office towers and residences are
copiously beetling from the grounds of Bangkok. The skyline looks especially stunning
when the sun is about to go down, while the lights emitted by the skyscrapers
after dark gives the city all the lofty glory it deserves.
