Bangkok Photos From 2004

[jballstate 326]

I took these pics in October of 2004. I was staying in the J. W. Marriott in Bangkok which is where the high shots were made from. I had wanted to go to the elephant show which is about 40 minutes outside of BKK and one of the girls at the Day & Night Bar just outside the Nana Entertainment Plaza had a girlfriend with a car and we took that to the show.

 

There was more to the show than just elephants, they had a Thai wedding, showed traditional Thai dress from the past, a martial arts session and other sessions which gave an insight to Thai life in the villages. It was worth the trip.

 

There are a number of pics showing Thai homes on the canals in Bangkok. I rented a longtail boat and a driver to take a lady and myself on a tour of the canals. Some of these homes are quite nice. I took this same tour with some friends in Dec. of 2010 and many of these homes showed flood damage.

Great shots...brings back memories..I'll have to dig up a few from the 80s for comparison.

 

Thanks

jballstate, I want to move this excellent pictorial topic to the new Pictorial Travel Reports section, but since your picture is in it, I'd like to see if you are okay with that. It will show up in google images eventually if I move it there.

Thank you! I'd like a wider audience to be able to view them.
