I will be leaving Bangkok tomorrow heading North for Chaing Mai. I am looking forward to it as Bangkok is a very intense place! I understand why many of my friends use the city as a staging destination for many of their other travels in Thailand. I am originally from New York City and spent a good many formative years there prior to moving to Los Angeles so I considered myself-a somewhat street smart city boy. That is until I came to Bangkok!
Yet, there is something I know I will miss about this city-the curious mixture of holiness and excess, all coexisting in some strange but Zen-like harmony. As crazy as Bangkok is, it has a magic all it's own. Having only seen a little, in a very short time, it is good reason to come back.
A bit about the photos. I admit at this point the quality of the photos are somewhat bland and amatuerish-which is in fact what I am (hehe). I am a bit disappointed in my new skills at travel digital photography and I am still getting used to using my new Canon PowerShot. So, practice makes perfect, (Or at least tolerable). So-here we go!
