Hello,
Why travel hundreds or thousands of miles away when many interesting things can be found in our own neighborhood? Just have to look around.
I was pleased to join the Bangkok Photographers group since we started our tour a short walk from my apartment.
I doubt whether "skyscrapers" is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Bangkok.
Nevertheless, we have our share.

Hello,
I had the most delightful afternoon at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center. I attended the “Pakistan Single Country Exhibition.”
My goal was to obtain tourist information. I had heard excellent stories from a group of German motorcyclists who I met last year in Tashkurgan, Xinjiang Province, China near the Pakistan border. I had traveled from Kashgar through some spectacular mountain scenery. Apparently, to the west, the Karakorum Highway in Pakistan is even more spectacular.
At the exhibit today, I did find a few brochures about the mountain and lake regions of Pakistan. But the convention center had exhibitors from a variety of other businesses: Rock Salt Products, Marble and Onyx, Wooden Furniture, Rugs, Gems and Jewelry, Garments and Textiles, Agro Foods, Brass Artifacts, Cutlery, Surgical Instruments, Sports Goods, Leather, Fishery, Pipe and Steel, Handicrafts, and of course, a Food Court.

Dear Friends,
It seems that the only time I travel to a local attraction is when I have a visitor and he makes a suggestion. I suppose that I am so busy planning my next international journey that I forget that my own locale around Bangkok offers many rewarding adventures. (I think I am not alone in this contradictory situation.)
The latest case: My old family friend, David L. made a stopover in Bangkok after he completed his work in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. He had read about Ko Kret.* We decided to visit.

Today I participated in the “Punk Rock Girl Shoot.”
Along with eight other amateur photographers and our leader, professional photographer Dennie Cody, we spent three hours this afternoon photographing the unique model Tanya, the Punk Rock Girl. *
The shoot took place at a vacant lot/playground/graffiti park at Ratchathewi in downtown Bangkok.
Tanya changed her outfit four times. She was creative, emotional and beautiful.
Please see for yourself.

My friends and high school classmates Phyllis and Jack were on a tour of Southeast Asia. Their first stop was Bangkok.
Since I live in Bangkok, it was a great pleasure for me to show Phyllis and Jack some of my favorite sights.
We spent two days together, sightseeing in Bangkok, Ayutthaya and Lop Buri.
But mostly we had "stories" to share! The period from high school until now contains a rich mine of people and places and events!

Hello,
I’ve got about a million items on my To Do list. Regardless, I decided to be a one-man, unofficial member of the TAT – the Tourist Authority of Thailand.
Are you considering a visit to Thailand?
Have you been here before and you are thinking about a return trip?
