I have been in Bangkok for about a week now and have several observations and comments I could make but am somewhat reluctant to do so because of all the static that this tends to produce. It seems that no matter what one says it meets with hostile reaction from several quarters on this forum. I am somewhat inclined to reach those who have been kind and helpful directly by using the Private Message function of this board. Here's a photo I took last night on my walkabout. I should mention that while the roadway in front of Tawan looks as if it is wet, it is not. Yesterday was dry and pleasant. The wet look in the picture is due to the reflective surface of the concrete of the roadway.
