Bangkok Scene

     The Guesthouse (picture) where I stay in Bangkok is in the heart of the city. There are office towers and an upscale, multi-level shopping center nearby. The work day for many Thai ends at 5:30 or 6:00, often ten hour days. This is known as the Sala Daeng area and has stops for both the Sky Train (elevated) and the subway. (I use the Sky Train frequently but not the subway.) When the workers finish their day there is a river of people filling the sidewalks toward those mass transit stops This area is too pricey for most workers. The sidewalks are so crowded then that it is difficult to go against the crowd. (See pictures.)
     Night time temperatures have been about 80 and in the mid 90s daytime. It took me about 15 minutes to adjust after leaving the frozen tundras of MN.😃
