BANGKOK:THE CITY OF ANGELS

I've been in Bangkok many times and every time I discover new things...

I don't agree with those who say that you don't need much time to spent to see the city..

In my opinion you could need weeks in this bustling city and still not see it all..

The first time I visited the city of Angels I was very young and also full in love!!

It was my first trip out of Europe and everything seemed magical to me!!

From the culture,the smell,the tastes, the local food,the sounds of the bad traffic,the humidity and the heavy rain.... to the temples, the night life and the famousThai massage..

I thought I was in another world..at another planet!!

I was so surprised when I saw children living in huts and drinking water from the dirty river next to an impressive skyscraper....

That was 25 years ago..

Since then I've been to Bangkok again and again at the recent years and every time, I see another Bangkok..sometimes I see the hard face of the city..the dangerous one..

The last time we had an adventure when scams appeared to be friendly local by giving us hapless advice but thank God we were lucky enough to understand it before it was too late..

But anyway,Bangok is one of Asia's most cosmopolitan cities and has a lot to offer.

Some of the standard tourist sights I saw,was the Grand Palace,the Wat Arun,China town,the Floating market,the Khlong tour(river side),the Sukhumvit road street,the Patrong night market and the bridge of river Kwai!!

I saw shows with snakes,elephants and crocodiles and I had a dinner cruise to Chao Phraya river!!!
