Through Our Eyes // 04: Bangkok

parking lot smoking at one of Bangkok’s malls
on a ferry boat crossing the river to go to Bangkok Medical Museum where we somehow (unintended) ended up in the mortuary
exploring the city, I love finding patterns
there are scooters everywhere
all of a sudden, a million tanks and nobody seemed surprised
one of Bangkok’s best cafes, here are more nice places to have a coffee
Korean barbecue with Pema, a beautiful girl from Holland, teaching in Thailand
malls malls malls

We have launched part one of our new website and we couldn’t be more excited. There are still some things to adjust but we love it. And we hope you do too.

I was looking through our pictures, trying to find good shots for a post and I stumbled on these pictures from Bangkok. It’s been a while since we last where there and I really miss that city. Bangkok has it all. Except for the weather. The godforsaken, everything melting, scorching heat that Bangkok is so notorious for, sucks. Kuala Lumpur is still a really hot city but it rains here every couple of hours (must be the season), cooling it down it bit.

We hope you have a great weekend with nice weather! (the thunder here in Kuala Lumpur is so loud at the moment, I can’t even hear my music).

Great selection of photos. You just showed me a different side of Bangkok, a bit darker and mysterious.Agree with Franca on your new awesome design! Really like it :)))

Loving the new look — very sleek and streamlined, all the better to feature your content! Can’t wait to see what other feature you guys roll out!

(Also, KL & Bangkok were both sweaty saunas when we visited them, so with that being equal, I’d probably say Bangkok owns my heart, too…)

  Thanks! We have so many ideas!
  We were talking today, It might just be that KL is just as hot as Bangkok and we’re just getting better at tolerating the heat.

Yesterday was the coldest day in May in Holland ever. With a minimum temperature of 10,3 degrees. My hairy legs have not seen the sun for ages. 125,5 hours left and I finally have to cover myself in sunmilk!

You really did capture some of the character of the city. Yes, it does have the traditional glimmer that you see in tourism brochures, but there’s also a very urban character that’s a tapestry of grittiness and flashy shopping malls, artsy cafes, multicultural restaurants from around the world, etc.

Love the different angles of the city you have captured and the vintage vibe to them all! I was in Bangkok 2 months ago which I had come across your blog then!
