We are explorers, wanderers, travelers, nomads. We strive to project the authenticity of places we visit through honest words and visuals. Enjoy!
The title is a (modified) flashback reference to a 1980's Murray Head song, which I blame for piquing my interest in this exotic city that can "make a hard man humble". Indeed, Bangkok is a wild city where anything goes. The sites, sound, smells, and speed can overwhelm even a well-seasoned traveler. And if that doesn't get you, the heat and humidity will!
Can you solve the mystery of Jim Thompson, an alleged CIA operative who disappeared from Bangkok leaving behind precious works of art?
On the night of the last full moon of the (Lunar) year, people in Bangkok float lighted candles in decorated banana leaf baskets in lakes and rivers to honor Buddha.
We spent a happy Thanksgiving Day cycling on the small isle known as the Green Lung (or Phra Padaeng or Bang Krachao). It's shape from the air literally looks like a lung.
Climb 300 steps at Wat Saket to the Golden Mount for a spectacular panoramic view of Bangkok.
Golden spires shimmer in the hot tropical sun, mingled with brilliant blues, reds, and greens. Grand Palace is a delightful experience! Just don't expect to make much sense of it all...
