Here are some snapshots of Bangkok, Thailand.
A temple by the Chao Phraya River
The taxis in Thailand come in all sorts of colours. Pink, orange, blue, green. Pick your fav colour and flag them down.

Getting ready for the New Year's Eve Countdown
Ta-da!..All lighted up. . One station away from here, that's where one of the 4 bombs blasted, hours before the countdown celebration.5 things i like about Bangkok, Thailand.
1) Their language.
I like how the Thais speak their language. It's just so nice to hear them talk..phaeng koen pai..ni tau rai...khap khun ka..
2) How they adore their king.
I'm pleasantly surprised by how much they really adore their king. Almost everywhere you can see either Thai people wearing yellow silicon wristbands similiar to the ones created by Lance Armstrong Foundation but this one has "Long live the king" on it instead or posters of their king pasted everywhere; big and small, on billboards or in taxis.
I can't help but be reminded each time i see a poster of their king, that this land i'm stepping on has never been dijajah before. haha!..Sejarah Tingkatan 3.
3) Shopping.
Though i think i need not say further on this, but seriously, everything is cheeeaaap in Thailand! Sooo cheeaapp. And everything is bargain-able. Haha!
4) Tuk-tuk
This little moving things are so fun to have around and so much so it has been a trademark of Thailand. The drivers are super skilled and they can manoeuver even the narrowest bend. Penang drivers can't beat them and they've earned my respect. No wonder they've been featured in blockbusters, movies and documentaries for the umpteenth times.
5) The Thai people.
They are super courteous and especially to the aged. Their genuity, warmth and the way they interact with each other..two thumbs up.
Love the experience. Would love to be there again. 
Bangkok=Mangkuk...(in cantonese)..so funny!
