Multi faceted Thailand

Thailand is one of the country which is like what Goa to Indian's to the entire world. It has something to offer for everyone and became prime attraction and on wish-list of entire wandering souls. It is a multifaceted country which projects different face to different people. People have their own sweet image of Thailand. Some have an image of picturesque island and romantic sandy beaches, some visualize flamboyant Buddhist temples and archaeological sites, some of thai massage, some have image of walking street and its flashy night life, some gets exotic floating market image, some think of adventures and taming the tiger, some of opulent shopping malls and interconnected sky-train, some scantily clad women dancing in street filled with pubs, some of transgenders, beers, tuk tuk, and many more.

No single travelogue possibly can ever give the entire image and vibe of Thailand. The best way to get to know better of Thailand is only by getting into the country. Go to Thailand do idling and visit or do place and things at spare time you would return with so much to remember and so little to tell or show. That's the best part of Thailand.

Day 2

Second day in Bangkok reserved for loitering around the luxury of metropolitan.

Jim Thompson is a renowned apparel brand but the history of Jim and his house is spectacular. The late Jim's and his house story is covetous. When my guide remarked, the modern entrance what I and everyone else entered the house was not an actual entrance but the backyard with a canal was the actual entrance during Jim's time and back then the most common mode of commute was boat, i was dumbstruck and so were other. How population changed things in Asia compared to Europe and Australia?

Soicowboy street is an infamous street in Bangkok and so does Nanaplaza. There are many such streets and place throughout Thailand. Keep your eyes and sense open when go to these places (in both sense!).

Moder and Contemporary Arts Museum (MOCA) an interesting place i found myself in Bangkok. Even the cabbies couldn't figure out the place when told the name. It took them a couple of call to the reception of MOCA to figure out the location. But it turned out to be a nice place to spend couple of hours. The place, ambiance, arts was just magnificent.
