Hmmm..... there's too many to look at. Why don't you chose a few images that you like, put it in another folder? That would be easier. Be critical and selective.

I'm planning to go bangkok next month; how's the weather there? I'm only afraid of rain / thunderstorm

And where can I get Nike Apparrels & Camelbak backpack (no fake pls!!!) at Bangkok?

Thanks!

Not sure if you've been there b4 zoom
If you're intending to go around on a budget trip ie getting around cheaply on your own, do check out the following:

- sky train day tourist pass (make sure you get the map that comes free with the purchase, quite useful)
: 100 baht for a day or 280 baht for 3 days
unlimited travel on the sky train

- take the public express boat along chao praya river, it's like a water bus, stops at every regular pier stop but quite fast
: very cheap cost eg from sahpan thaksin (last southern sky train stop to grand palace/wat pho/wat arun stop (tha thien pier or something there i think) will be like 8 baht

- Walk! Get a map and walk around, it's great!

Taxi is quite ok, but make sure you tell the guy to go by meter when you get on the taxi.

Watch out for some swindlers and over friendly ppl who approach you asking where are u going and where u're from. They'll tell you that the particular attraction you're going to is closed for the day and they'll offer to take you somewhere else good and flag a tuk tuk for you. They are bluffing. Encountered lots of them.

U/l some photos of my prev visit to the grand palace, watpho, wat arun, ayathuya and chinatown at the following link if you're interested
