Bangkok…how do we begin to describe this city. Many thoughts come to mind with Bangkok. It’s gritty and most parts dirty but also got luxe and modern squeezed between it. There’s definitely contrast in every corner, the mix of old and new amongst all the hustle and bustle. This is the makeup of vibrant Bangkok.
We didn’t know what to expect landing in Bangkok for the first time. Traffic? Yes but not as crazy as we thought for a heavily populated SE Asian city. Good food? a big YES! Taxi not using meters? Yes too. It’s a big city with lots of personalities, but it’s not as daunting as some may expect.
After 10 days of Bangkok, safe to say we will be back.
