Do you like Bangkok?

My dad gets asked "So, do you like Bangkok then?" His guarded reply is: "Too early to tell..."
Hmmm... I guess for a 80+ dad with a cantankerous, moody daughter, 35 degree heat, taxi drivers that refuse to take you to those far away tourist spots, and the appalling traffic, Bangers can sure hit you like a cricket bat in the face.

Still, he absolutely loves the fruit and we've consumed more fruit in the past 2 days than I've had in the past 3 months (that is in no way an exaggeration). And of course the spicy food which as a Sichuaner he consumes quite easily. Back home in the UK, he's supposed to be on Canderal, a low chlorestoral diet and avoid migraine-inducing citrus fruits. Over here, it's coconut curries, chili peppers, over-sweet fruit drinks and plenty of those yummy tangerines.

As a keen photographer he's looking for that special photo opportunity - usually unplanned - where the lighting is just so. However, our very first stop off was in fact the IT megalithic mall Parntip Plaza. We've now visited a variety of places, but the one that captivated him was the temple next to the large flower market. The lighting was just so.
