Thailand
Bangkok (city of angels)
Magnificent temples (by David Millett)
Bangkok has two faces. On one hand,
it is a big modern city full of new
buildings, shopping malls, and elevated
trains. As a direct result of the 1980s
and 1990s Asian investment boom,
numerous multinational corporations base
their regional headquarters in Bangkok.
On the other hand, it is a colourful,
old, and grungy city filled with
temples, streets overflowing with
people, and nosy Tuk Tuks.
Because of its duel natures, you can
find great places to stay and shop that
are very western, while at the same time
immerse yourself in very Asian places
and cultures. One of the things you must
not miss while in the city of angles is
a Thai massage. Thai massage is like
having yoga performed on you by a
masseuse. It is a painful and yet
pleasurable experience, all at the same
time.
