Bangkok is a huge, crowded and busy city, never sleeps! Whatever you want can be found here! Huge fancy malls, street shops, night markets, red light districts like pat pong etc. The night markets sale “imitated products” like the locals like to call them. But apart from the fake stuff they have huge malls with super exclusive stuff like Gucci, Armani, and Chanel etc…
The king of Thailand is godlike and there are pictures of him everywhere, remember not to make jokes of him, some idiot Danish guy painted a mustache on his picture and got a 3 year prison sentence but he had it coming for being such an idiot.
Taxis and Tuk-Tuks want to take you everywhere and for tourists they always name a ridiculous price. Same goes for the shopkeepers in the street, if you don’t want to pay your ass off you better start managing those bargain skills, similar to China…Can be a little annoying from time to time.
We went to Bangkok’s highest tower called BAIYOKE TOWER; view of the city in the night was really beautiful. The view point on the highest floor (84th) of Baiyoke tower was actually closed in the night but we bribed the security guard with 4€ and he let us up on a private tour, picture added.
I had some local friends here who showed us around in Bangkok. We went to night markets and visited Chinatown of Bangkok. I think the Chinatown here looks like China did around 20 years ago, mess everywhere and covered with street kitchens, love it!
Last year I was in Bangkok it was much busier and more people around everywhere. Guess the credit crunch is taking its toll of tourist…
