Travelling in Style to Bangkok, Thailand

Chasing The Dusk in Bangk
For me describing Bangkok can be quite difficult sometimes as it’s nearly impossible to narrow down the narration in a line or two. The capital of Thailand is a huge intriguing metropolis indeed. But somehow it retains predictable patterns of how most of South-East Asian cities look like. The chaotic street scene during typical rush hour times, the heavily-polluted air, the virtual poverty; they’ve all become commonplace. However Bangkok is Bangkok, it remains stand out of the crowds with its charming, pleasant and enjoyable atmosphere. Once you leave it, Bangkok still shadows you with a lot of newly-gained travel experiences which are absolutely unforgetable. It’s the river, the Grand Palace, the innumerable wats, the humble street vendors in its open market or in the roadside, the fast-walking crowds, the monks,and the king; not to forget the distinctive Thai smiles that are probably the sweetest ones on the planet.

Personal remarks (it has nothing to do with Bangkok though): Naming Air Asia as the world’s best low-cost airline is indisputable, but when it comes to onboard service it might be among the bitchiest ones. Such a heartless bitch for effortlessly letting the passengers suffer from hypoglycaemia. No offends please. I’m just speaking up.
