Bangkok is an amazing city. Dream Town. City of contrast. A modern highly developed metropolis, living according to the highest standards of the civilized world. International financial center, one of the world's fashion capitals, the center of club life, tranny shows and corrupt love.
The amazing city of Bangkok. The city of holy traditions, Buddhist temples, taxi drivers hiding from the heat in the cold of their air conditioners, street grilled chicken and the indescribable crowd of the Thai night market with its carts, beggars, fruits, fish and sweets.
Those who are used to traveling on their own and sightseeing without a guide and tour groups can rent a car in Thailand at a rental office and not depend on anyone. Renting a car in Bangkok will cost an average of 18 euros per day, on Krabi from 15 euros per day.
The contrasts are so striking that only a sincere Thai smile can reconcile all this pun. And once in this eastern metropolis, jumping in the heat from air conditioner to air conditioner, you begin to slowly learn the deep meaning of this mysterious Thai smile. And if at first a gloomy European is inclined to regard this wide smile full of kindness and impartiality as the strained hospitality of a country eager for inbound tourism, then a few days and nights in Bangkok put everything in its place.
The Thai smile is not a gesture of hospitality or a form of fawning. The Thai smile is the philosophy of equilibrium, the philosophy of equalizing all differences and contrasts on the eternal scales. This smile is a barrier from the stresses and overloads of the madness of the metropolis.
Oriental madness, when leaving the hotel you can literally find yourself in a Thai village, and going to the other side of the street you find yourself in a modern developed shopping center, shining with pre-a-porter brands. And don't be put off by the golden Thai youth and business elite who powder their faces to appear paler. The most interesting thing will begin when you see how the Thai elite with serious faces will check for strength or meticulously examine the seams of a blouse from the new collection from D&G before buying. Here it is - the contrasting flavor of Thailand.
Contrasts do not leave Bangkok at night. The modern bar, where the evening starts, will be replaced by a luxurious nightclub full of energy, drive and modern club hits. And when you get bored with the heat of the night, when you go out you will plunge into the world of an original night market, with its painted fluorescent lamps, grilled chicken, beggars scurrying about at their feet and, of course, a sea of oriental fruits and sweets.
Oh this unforgettable Bangkok!
