Oh, the crepe.
The crepe in street.
But the thing here is it’s crunchy.
Anyway, I love them.
SO MUCH.

A shot from my cellphone. The biggest mistake I have made is I didn’t bring the kit lens. I only have a prime and zoom lens. I didn’t get to shoot temples with the right compositions. I only have here stones and tiles zoomed and most have blurred backgrounds. =S
It’s a good thing that I had my cellphone with me.

A piece of Jim Thompson collection.
How Jim fell in love with Bangkok culture can be seen how beautifully architectural is his house. And because of such passion with a foreign country, the government and some of his friends preserve his house and made it one of the most visited tourist spot in Bangkok.

This is my friend Jelai. I just hope that her pose doesn’t look like she’s faking it.
Behind her is souvenir shop of elephant and buddha paintings and postcards.
Taxi Plate

There are a lot of warnings about riding a taxi in Bangkok.
Don’t get too cautious, they won’t rob you. But once they know that you’re a tourist, they will offer you a drive service to temples and gem and suit boutiques. They will know because one way or another, you will need to hand them your map or you would talk in a different language.
Hence, they will ask you to give them a specific amount for the service. They won’t use the meter. And yes, they will charge you a high amount. But, I’m not generalizing. This also happens in other countries, specifically in mine. You just have to ask them to use the meter. They will haggle their price but you know you are in a tight budget. So you don’t have to worry, there are a lot of taxis out there, willing to give what you want.
