well by popular demand ive been instructed to give more details on what Bangkok is like!!
Well from what ive seen in my few days here the first thing i would say is that Bangkok is busy busy busy! the streets are over run with people and the roads over run with cars, bikes and tuk tuks! a tuk tuk is whats in the pic above, its like a motorised bike with a roof, the fumes from it are enough to knock you out lol! I guess thats why most people wear a mask over their face to limit the fumes they breathe in!
shops line the streets then stalls line the pavements, selling everything from food, fruits, flowers, shoes, clothes & bags. you can see men & women at the side of the road making things as well, like jewlery, shoes and ornamental things. so you can imagine the amount of different smells you've got to take in when walking through the streets, theres the great smell of all the different foods, mostly chinese & thai, fish as well, then theres the smells wafting from the many beauty parlours, all the different lotions & potions!
The people have been lovely so far, really friendly and happy to help and answer any questions. even the tuk tuk drivers who are dying to take you to places so they can persuade you to go to tailors & gem shops to buy stuff you dont need, are not that bad, they know how to take no for an answer!
the buildings probably have been beautful at one point but now really dirty again from all the fumes from traffic. except from the temples, im hoping to visit the grand palace over the next few days and some of the other lovely religious sights. The temples are usually white with gold edging around the roof and on top and always a shrine or two outside. when you visit a temple you are handed candles, insence and flowers by the monk at the entrance, this is for you to offer the buddha shrine when you go inside.
Hope that gives you an idea of what its like to wnader around the streets of Bangkok! I'll try get some pics uploaded soon! xxx
