My trip to Thailand, though short-lived, was quite an experience ~ great place, new culture, new language, different people (on second thought, not much, as we look somehow the same), and… food adventures.
Bits and pieces of Thailand in photos...
1. The BTS or Skytrain
It's similar to the MRT in the Philippines, only more spacious and
the seats more comfortable. But the very big difference?... the people
are way more disciplined (no offense meant there. just objective observation).
2. MBK Center, Bangkok

| UCC Cafe at the basement level |
Right at the heart of Bangkok and connected to the BTS is this
shopping mall. What else can I say... it's a shopping haven (one of
the, actually). It is the most visited mall in Bangkok because of the
varied items and reasonable prices.
3. Siam Ocean World in Siam Paragon, Bangkok
 |
| A Chevy Fish Tank (no less)! |
One of Bangkok's famous attractions is this underground marine showcase. Located at the basement of Siam Paragon,
it has hundreds of marine life species on display in the largest tanks
I've ever seen. It is amazing how each and every fish tank in the
whole Oceanarium re-creates the natural underwater sea conditions -
water salinity, temperatures, and all.

5. The Vimanmek Mansion or Teak Palace
