Out to Space

This is the last music slideshow about commuting in Bangkok and the second last of Thailand trip series. I already have done on the Express Way, a tuk tuk, walking around the neighbour and a boat service along Chao Phraya River.

One day, for the first time in the trip, while Stilgherrian and I were walking on Sukhumvit Road, I realised that the camera bag were left in the hotel and did not bother to fetch it. That meant there would be no decent tool for the day. On the other hand, I still had the camera phone with me and made the most of the limitation.

I believe every big city in the world has uneven and cracked footpath. Urban environment is a like any other living thing that changes all the time. A street that has perfect footpaths could be read that it is brand new or one lives there. I am interested in the traces of human behaviours left on the surfaces of the pathways they walk on everyday.

This Watch Your Step music slideshow features music Step by Stylish Nonsense.

There are something intriguing enough in these images of Bangkok that I have to share them but could not fit somewhere in a particular theme. Therefore I pile them up here. It is quite surreal looking at some of them. Enjoy!

Bangkok’s SkyTrain or BTS has provided remarkable perspectives of the city to the commuters. My original plan was to explore the urban landscape from its stations in music slideshow presentation like when I travelled on the Express Way, a tuk tuk, foot and a boat. However, since many pictures I took from BTS stations were included in some posts on urban landscape, I decided to make it simple.

These two shots were taken 22 seconds apart at Sala Daeng Station on Silom Road, the very heart of business district. It was easy to find contrasts in a big city, no exception Bangkok.

To me, the most enjoyable transport in Bangkok must be Chao Phraya Express Boat Service. Chao Phraya River is the bloodline of Bangkok. All sort of activities happens along the waterway, creating a vibrant livelihood unlike the enclosed views you get from the road. You can capture people and their relationship with water as well as amazing abstract urban landscape while feeling the fresh air.

Go with the Flow music slideshow starts from the trip from Central (Sathorn) Pier, which is conjunct with the end of skytrain line at Taksin Station, to Wang Lang (SiriRaj) Pier.
