That's hilarious. I seem to recall Terminal 21 to have some kind of an airport theme though, so that might've confused them LOL
Pics, some night street shots. Night vendors

Re: Early morning Bangkok
Yes it has an airport theme, thus the Terminal name and it is at Soi 21 (Asoke). Each floor is a "level" and themed after a different country.alx123 wrote:... I seem to recall Terminal 21 to have some kind of an airport theme though ....

Re: Early morning Bangkok
That picture of the back of your bike made me cringe. That poor bike. A good washing would help some, but the rust is something else. Don't they sell a chromed version of the swingarm there? That would help some.

I think it’s a light spraying of mud, not rust?

that usually happens when you have to ride on roads like this in Bangkok, mix that with some unpaved muddy streets and you get the picture..
but don't worry, scoot is okay. no rust at all.

Looks like they are doing some restoration work on the Grand Palace. Lot of history there!

Those pictures clearly show the mix of the old and the new. . .. The above ground trains always present a challenge to city developers.

An old saying was "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence".Reviving photo thread..

But I say "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence until you have to pay the bills".
Good idea to park in the shade!

Re: Early morning Bangkok
Roads are clear because most peopole still work at home right now, but it is also scorching at 40°C (104°F).
Seems like a perfect time to ride around town, or not..

Re: Early morning Bangkok
That soda machine looks like it has a good selection!
With the temps at 104 F. it was a good place to stop.
Watch out for crazy drivers though. When the roads are empty the empty minded have a field day going WOT.

Re: Early morning Bangkok
Thanks Old Grinner.

But as usual we carry on. LOL
