Return to Bangkok Photos

Bangkok may be a huge, sprawling city, but it's evenings can be quite beautiful if you perch on a roof-top. Just forget that pretty colours mean pollution... we've seen lots of nice sunsets this year, haven't we?...!
The Thanon Khao San - probably the truest home of backpacking world wide. With one lonely Vicki trying not to be noticed by the tuk-tuk and 'Nice Suit?' touts while standing in the middle for a photo. Not an easy task!
But this place really comes alive in the evening, especially on the weekend. then it's difficult to move for the crowds, and the entire street feels like the inside of a night-club - thumping music, beer girls, cocktails, and of course the obligatory touts.
