Bangkok: City of Pleasure

 

Bangkok - the city of pleasure. It is difficult, as a traveler, but feel a lazy tourist. Three basic human needs, exacerbated by the border. You want to sleep well, have a delicious, fun and everything the city willing to give you any time of day, here and now.

Bangkok feel, with the first breath at the exit of the airport. The smell of the city completely covers you in a taxi, hovering over you on every street corner. High humidity is concentrated odors. The scent of wood, soil, flowering plants, with the smell of cooking food mixed in the street depends on you, which causes a slight gasp.

City of Angels - a city of contrasts. Thus, in addition to the new skyscraper will be needed two or three wooden huts and a quarter are not so surprising. It is difficult to wonder about the reality of not strange or aggressive, it is easy to dissolve.

 No matter how you look at Bangkok. Is this kind of night city from a height Bayoke Sky or type of waking up with a quarter of the height of the Wat Arun, you will fly on the muddy Chao Phraya in an unknown direction, or catch a bright pink taxi and send Soi Cowboy. Whether you come back the next evening in a bar and drink on Kaosan with the owner, the loss of momentum or decency examines the mega-mall in the middle.
