The Real Bangkok


(below: thai women lining the streets selling junk)



(below: noisy, polluting motorcycles)



(below: graffiti everywhere)



(below: drink vendors walking around constantly asking you to buy drinks)



(below: kids playing with stray cats)



(below: old women selling vegetables on the side of the streets)


(below: my boat river, who scored big time for as little work as possible)



(below: old river warehouses)



(below: women in floating markets coincidently happen to be there as your boat goes by)




(below: kids wave as we go past on the canal)




(below: the gap between rich and poor is so obvious in Bangkok)

(below: even the monks look dejected)



(below: the canals are filthy, rubbish thrown recklessly into it by the locals)


(below: dirty, rusty container ships clog the main river system)


(below: old, worn houses by the river)


(below: tall skyscrapers tower over the old warehouses and shacks)


(below: the long boats lining up in front of the Marriott)



(below: hotels sponsor these boats to carry their passengers up the river)
