Well, i've been back from Vietnam and Thailand a week now, and this is the first chance i've had to get some photos organised for you.

These are photos from my walk on day 1 around Bangkok. Started off on Sukhumvit, all along Ploenchit then to the Erawan shrine, down and into Silom, then back out and through Lumpini Park, up Wireless and back through Nana and to my hotel.

I believe it was along where these benches are that the bomb was set off a couple of months ago............................

Armed guards all around the shrine now..................................

Boris cycles in Bangkok....................................

Those photo's of the various and manyfold concrete flyovers/carriageways etc. always make me wonder about the "building practices" used and whether future disasters could come Bangkok's way. Plymouth in UK had many concrete vehicle routes and multi-story car parks riddled with "concrete cancer", as did large sections of the M6 motorway due to poor and dubious building practices (Read profiteering), which were uncovered in time, and renovated with great expense. I am never overly impressed with modern Thai building standards !
