    Wow! Very cool site with beautiful color pictures. I like this blog in pictures.

    Cool stuff. My mom actually grew up in Thailand in Suphan Buri.

    Maybe someday I’ll make it out there.

    Wonderful pics, I love the colors of this city :-) Bangkok is one of my favorite places in the world, so crazy, so inspiring…wish you lots of fun there :-)

    Stunning.

    Beautiful pictures. I visited there 25 years ago. It should be very different now. What I recall is that it was so smelly everywhere in the town. I can never forget that unique and weird smell that I haven’t found any other places yet. Is it not smelly any longer probably?

    • Matt March 22, 2010 @ 1:38 pm

      The smells were definitely “Asian” but in a jasmine / incense way, not a bad way.

    The Peninsula Bangkok, one of my favorite hotels in the world! Was part of the opening team back in ’98, had such a great time there. Now moving back to the City of Angels! Love your pictures and Blog!

    It’s a pity that photos cannot convey the unique aromas of BKK, there’s no city quite like it.

    Absolutely beautiful thanks for sharing!

    Beautiful Pictures. I can say it is a real Thai traditional. I live in Phuket and not see some kind of picture for long. Good job.

  • Glenn Gutierrez March 22, 2010 @ 8:48 am

    Dude, nice photos. Can’t wait to be able to travel like that. What kind of camera do you use?

    • Matt March 22, 2010 @ 1:37 pm

      It usually says in the metadata under the photo — all of these were with a Nikon D3s.

  • Rafael from Iloveplanes.com March 22, 2010 @ 8:48 am

    Those are some great pictures Matt! Did you buy any computer parts at that store?

  • Scott March 22, 2010 @ 5:18 pm

    So you’re in Bangkok? Fun place, and very different from … anywhere else really! I have lived here for 6 years, and still love it.

    Nice to see the photos – it’s good to see the city through someone else’s eyes.

    Enjoy the trip!

    (Oh – and if it’s computer parts you want to see, you should take a trip to Pantip Plaza on Petchaburi Road – fantastic place)

    Hope some Thai Blogger shoot your pictuce and write a blog about you in Thailand. :)

  • mrloo March 22, 2010 @ 8:04 pm

    I need to do these too. Taking photos of anything :) love it

  • Dan Thompson March 22, 2010 @ 9:42 pm

    Man had I known you were going to be here I would have bought you a drink and taken you to a few really cool places to eat. As someone who has lived in Bangkok and still lives in thailand and uses WordPress all the time – it would have been good to show my appreciation.

    Next Time

    Do make sure you take some time to check out the meditation centers in Bangkok. While not as hardcore as the ones upcountry, Wat Mahadhatu (across from Wat Phra Kaeo, the royal palace) has a well-known meditation center at section five. Tell them Phra Noah sent you :)

    P.S. Thx for WordPress.

    I come from Thailand and I live in Bangkok. Although I am very happy that you came to my country , I am very sad not see you.

    This comment Translate by Google Translate because I’m not good at English. :)

    This is a really wonderful batch of photos! They work together as a great portrait of the city.

    Bangkok looks a bit like Mexico with all the markets, street vendors, etc.

  • Webmonster March 24, 2010 @ 8:40 pm

    Very nice photos, some places I’ve never seen.

  • Elissa May 28, 2010 @ 6:24 am

    It’s weird… looking at the photos, I can almost smell the city. (In a good way.) I love the colors.

  • alex September 14, 2011 @ 11:46 pm
