Little temples or shrines can be found anywhere. Some are public, some are inside private properties.

Forgot to water your palm trees?

View from my hotel room window.

Tree in Saranrom Park

Good intentions but the amount of plastics and wrappings used in the country is enormous.

Pigeons everywhere! And many people still feed them.

Startled by the honking of a car horn. They barely move when people walk through.

Classy shopping malls

How to ride an elevator in Covid times. I haven’t seen anybody paying attention.

Backbreaking labor in 40+ °C.

Saw this mosque on one of my walks in the area and ...

...discovered the beautiful entrance door two days later.

Food fair at EmQuartier shopping mall, where I enjoyed my $5 pad thai with mussels lunch.

After navigating through a maze of tiny alleyways I finally found Chinatown!

These small waterways are an important means of transportation. Reminded me vaguely of Amsterdam.

Only the ground floor is still used by small store owners.

Found my destination—just a few weeks or years too late.

Entrance to a wholesale market. Cable art on top.

Resellers shopping for their wares. Dirt cheap but nothing that enticed me to purchase.

Talking about traffic... It's hard—and often outright dangerous—to cross a road. In addition, it's left-side driving. So, even in 40 °C heat I always climbed up the stairs to the overpass.

The fictional superhero Hulk from the Marvel comics and movies.

The famous tuk-tuks

Typical little alleys. Fun getting lost as long as you have a local SIM card for Google maps and a portable power bank.

Still, somebody's home...

… these, too.

Probably a water tower. Important enough to be guarded by a couple of elephants.

Subway station – quite a contrast to the older BTS (sky train) system. Subway and BTS are convenient and fast, unlike taxis that wait and crawl along in the famously congested streets of Bangkok.

Cable art once again—no need for bedroom window curtains.
