After spending three weeks in Myanmar and before continuing our journey to Cambodia, we stayed for a couple of weeks in Bangkok. We didn't visit many things, but we saw a little more from the everyday life and other not so touristic sites. Here you have a collection of images.
- Democracy Monument
- Victory Monument
Here is the minibus station. From where you can get almost everywhere around the capital.
- Erawan Shrine
In the middle of the shops area, hotels and offices in Bangkok.
- Khao San Road
Also known as the backpacker street: many people, drunken tourists, shops, noise and cheap hostels.
- Lumphini Park
A good place to relax, walk or practice sports in the center, next to the shopping area, hotels and offices in Bangkok.
A curiosity of this place is that at 6:00pm the national anthem i played. At this time, the world seems to stop. Everyone stop what they were doing and stand quiet. After the anthem, everyone continues with their activities.
.
- Bike lane
Bangkok has a network of bike lanes, specially designed for extreme and adventure sports.
Unfortunately, the majority of cyclists, it doesn't get much impressed by it, and don't use these facilities as they deserve. They simply get off the bike and push.
.
- BTS Sky Train
For the less adventurous, there is always the option of traveling by public transport, such as the BTS Sky Train, the elevated train. Although nowadays it still hasn't a very extensive network, it is a good way to move within the city.
Despite the crowds at rush hour, the access to trains is orderly and in a row, following a scrupulous order.
.
- Jack fruit
Probably one of the world's largest fruit.
.- Thai massage
What a better option to relax, than a good Thai massage before leaving the country.
