Visits

Bangkok. It's time I went back again.

I've grown fond of the contradictions. 

Bargirls saying prayers as they go to work. Beggars saying prayers as they struggle past Buddha. Excesses against the teaching of moderation. Taxi drivers weaving in and out, and letting go of the steering wheel to 'wai' yet another Buddha shrine at the side of the street.

It's fascinating to say the least.

And the Thais couldn't really give a toss about what others think. There's no getting into their minds, really.

Oh, yes. The best thing of all about them is that there appears to be no stigma whatsoever with whatever. That's why they do some of the best TV commercials in the world.
