Thoughts on BKK

I’ve had four days here and I’ve been able to scratch the surface here. BKK is big and sprawly but the sights are all mostly downtown and easily navigated.
Transit, food (as long it’s local) and lodging can be cheap! Hella cheep! However, the same rule re: expats applies (expat friendly = wallet unfriendly).
People here have been friendly and helpful. But I’ve been hearing the same thing over and over: “if you wanna see Thailand, get outta BKK”.
So I was thinking…you can fly directly into Chiang Mai and then rent a motorcycle…
Watch this space in a few months for more..! =P
I begin the long haul back home today. I fly outta BKK back to SIN and then tomorrow AM, fly back to HKG.
Then on Tuesday, I catch my transpacific flight back to SFO. That flight’s gonna be rough. At least there’s a stopover in NRT.
