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

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.

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..

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

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! :D

reviving Bangkok photos thread

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..

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. :?
