A day in Bangkok

Tweet

A day in Bangkok can be an interesting experience for tourists and locals. I live about one-and-a-half hours drive from the capital, and dread the times I have to visit. Yesterday my wife and I had to get her Australian Visa, so that meant Bangkok here we come. I refuse to take the car as the traffic is impossible, and parking is difficult. The bus took one hour, so that's the amount of ime I spent with my knees up under my chin. Next the BTS, which is an overhead rail. It was peakhour, so this was not good either. Next was a motorcycle taxi. For those who don't know, this is a ride on the back of a motorbike in amd out of cars and busses through the busy streets. It's a horror ride for the inexperienced' The drivers said they knew where we were going, but when they dropped us off, end recieved their fee they were gone. It was the wrong building, so next was a taxi. When my wife opened the taxi door to ask the driver if he knew our destination, there sitting on the front passenger seat was a two-way radio and a gun. He was an off-duty policeman, and hadn't yet put these away. His helmet wes behind the back seat. I hope I don't have to go to Bangkok for a long timeHave you ever had a horror day? Let's hear about it?
