Well, two nights actually, all thanks to the company.
Our annual trip organizing committee decided to go for a change this year and made it an international trip. So that’s how our lot ended up in Bangkok for a three day jaunt. What a bunch of lucky bastards we are.
My impression of the city is that it’s basically Colombo with more infrastructures, yet congested and fast paced. The people on the other hand seem more organized and really tolerant, all trying to get on with their lives.
Unfortunately it’s difficult to get the real feel for a country and its people by just visiting for a couple of days. You need to live there for some time to get the true pulse. They know that you are a tourist and treat you as such.
Enjoy the pics…

Roadside shrine. There are plenty of these shrines by the road side dedicated to various deities. People stop by and worship them while going about their daily business.

The Thai tendency to go to the shrine and worship while passing it amazed me. :D
