I love Bangkok, there’s never a boring moment and I wish I had a picture of all the adventures AND misadventures we got up to…
Probably heading for Bangkok tomorrow. Not sure what I should expect with all the riots in the moment…
Can anyone recommend a good hostel / place to stay?

Great stuff. I love the Tuk Tuk night shot!
.-= Matt | YearAroundTheWorld´s last blog ..Backpacking in Mexico: The Plan =-.
Cheers Matt, I know it’s well out of focus and stuff but that’s exactly as it seemed… That particular ride was probably the most hectic and fast Tuk Tuk ride I’ve ever been on! Hope the trip to Mexico goes well and I look forward to reading about it!
Great photo’s, hope I can find an eye for a picture like yours soon, or the pictures from my trip are going to look very run of the mill!
.-= Brendan´s last blog ..Lessons learned on the road #1 =-.
Thanks for your kind words Brendan it never gets old to hear that!
I’m sure you’ll find your “eye” it took me quite a while and I have loads of rubbish shots from the early days but I saw that your off to SE Asia… You won’t ever struggle to get a good picture there!
Once again, these are gorgeous photos! I heard there were some recent riots in Bangkok. Khao San Road was affected and some tourists hurt?
.-= Jen Laceda´s last blog ..Smashing Spring Giveaway =-.
Thanks so much Jen, I’d love to take more credit but Bangkok is such an assault on the senses that these pictures just take themselves ya know! Yeah I heard about the riots too and I hope that all affected got out OK…
Amazing photos! I especially love #1 and #2. How did you manage to take them???
It’s funny because I can feel how much you enjoyed Bangkok from your pics while to me Bangkok remains one of the places I enjoyed less…
