Those fish foot spa's are pretty intense when they all go for you at first.

@Sarina Look what paula is wearing for the bike ride:
The bike ride we too yesterday was amazing. Certainly we saw parts of Bangkok that I suspect some of the locals do not know exist.
Once upon a time all the goods from the port came to Bangkok by rail. For some reason they use road trucks now and the old railway trucks are derelict and the lines have in places become shanty towns…
-
Notice the train tracks…
The people we met in these shanty towns were unfailingly cheerful and friendly, "they may not have much money, but they are rich in their hearts". the only time I was refused permission to take a photo was when I asked if I could take a photo of a game of cards where there was a lot of money in the middle of the
tablepallet - I was not altogether surprised…... -
Bangkok is so nice, stayed there with my parents for some days, but it was many moons ago…
-
Interesting photos Giles especially the salt works. It's 30F and snow on the ground here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in case you're up for a little schadenfreude…
-
I am off to bangkok for a stag do in feb. I bet i see lots of bikes of a different kind…
-
no you wouldn't -
