Bangkok Bliss

I absolutely loved Bangkok! I loved how the Thais were such nice, welcoming people. It's really admirable how they're so keen on injecting beauty into every little thing that they do, from random street food to their temples. Their sense of culture is also something to be marveled at, as is their devotion to their King! It's rare to see that these days especially when you hear us criticizing politicians left and right! Another thing that I found wonderful was the marriage of the old world and new in Bangkok- Skytrains with Tuktuks, Pepper lunch side by side flower juice! I could go on and on!

If I could, I would post all of my pictures here, but I guess these capture some of my favorite memories in the city of bargains and all things spicy!
