9 million people make up Bangkok city. It has clogged roads and we were warned not to try and drive or take a taxi in the city. The 'Sky Train' public transport is fantastic and took us where we needed to go. Below the sky train is a pedestrian walkway and below that is the street. The pavements are line with food vendors so its alive with noise and activity.
The traffic is very colourfull due to the brightly coloured taxi's and tuk tuk's. Shopping here is easy and there are lots of centers to choose from. We only spent 2 days here so just touched on a few sites.
Sky Trail overhead, with the walkway just below it.
Here we are walking on the elevated walkway. Looking down we found the Erawan Shrine. It was originally built to ward off bad luck during the construction of the Erawan Hotel. Now its very popular with the city community as a place where wishes are granted. All the yellow are flowers laid by the worshipers and each person lights a few yellow candles on the shrine.
Pink, lime green, blue, yellow...the colourful taxi's
