Pictures of Bangkok: Touristic places

I've made a post with pictures of normal Bangkok streets with cabs, buildings, ad banner and all those stuffs you have no idea how they look like until you come to visit Bangkok.

However, Bangkok as you know is also a very touristic city with a lot of beautiful temples and some interesting market.



These are the places I want to show here.


I created an online Album on my Picasa Gallery

I'm gonna add more and more pictures on this album.

Hopefully the embedded slideshow below will be updated automatically.









Feel free to comment and to visit my Picasa pictures gallery.

Monitor Lezard spotted in AIT

AIT is a very green campus. To describe it best I would say that it's a bunch of buildings erected on the middle of a forest.

We are surrounded by trees, natural gardens and all kinds of insects that come with such an environment.

We even have a Lake (partly artificial but it still does the job) with a food booth nearby so that one can eat sitting just near the lake.


This welcoming environment leads to a very rich fauna and flora.

One day, I was going for lunch when I spotted this big monitor lizard near the lake.
It is one of the biggest lizard I've ever seen (actually IT IS the biggest).

you can see by yourself on the pictures below.
















As usual, feel free to comment.

More pictures from Kribi and the neighbourhood

Dude, I've seen more solid bridges in my life (not sure I've seen scarier ones though)




The waterfalls. Not that impressing hein?




Well people use them to wash their clothes.




And do fish too.




Which is kinda of stupid cause the fish is clearly too young.




Ok, it looks more interesting from this angle.




It's amazing what you can do with a close-up. Now it (almost) looks impressive.




My Bro walkin on the Water...well sort of.





I guess we can say that he's in harmony with the nature.




The last one. I like this one.



That's all folks...for now.

That's one hell of a catch up (thx bro for the pics)


The next post will be on the trip we made to see the "Pygmées".

So if you want to see more pictures or you want to know who are the "Pygmées"? well, stay tuned.

It's coming soon. Meanwhile, feel free to comment (note that if you dont want to sign in yo can always leave an anonymous comment).
If you want to know who are

Pictures of Kribi beaches (Cameroon)

Ok, if you are just about pictures, then this post is for you (unlike the following post lol).

Since I wasn't the one uploading the photo, I can't embed the slideshow like I have started to lately. So it's gonna be a bunch of (selected pictures).

If you wanna see the whole album (with A LOT of pictures) then just hit any of the following pictures.




A close look to the sea, the water is not as crystal clear as it is in Ko Samet but it's still a beautiful view.





One of the hotel we visited in our quest for affordable prices.





The view from our bedrooms (which were 1 meter behind at the ground - and only- floor).





2 meters farther, just near the beach.





The bedrooms where we stayed.





The restaurant of the Hotel. The food is many times better than the building look.





I love this view at the dawn.





My Bro





Me





My Bro & Me





We were playing a really stupid game. So funny





Me again (sorry to bother you with me lol)





The Water flow is quite powerful, I left with some bruises (cause of the stupid game :) )




How cool is life sometimes?




Of course Hell is on Earth, but the Paradise is here too.




We were going to see the (little) waterfalls.

Electric Wires In Bangkok: An Horror

Since I'm on the topic of Bangkok city, I feel the need to speak about what makes this city's streets simply UGLY most of the time: The electri wires everywhere!


For a reason yet to be discovered, you dont have one wire, or a set of wires neatly joined together, but rather a hard to describe jumble pack of uneven wires.


It really uncomfortable to have one of those wires loosely hanging at few centimeters of you when you are taking one of these bloody bridges you are force to take when you want to cross a road (but I'll blog about it later).
You don't really feel secure, trust me.

Since a picture worth thousands words, I let you have a look.

Pictures of Bangkok

When people take pictures, they tend to take pictures of the most beautiful spots.

If you are in Bangkok for just a couple of weeks, it makes sense to focus on the Wat Po, the Royal Palace and other touristic attractions.


But I think that to really know how Bangkok looks like, you need to go beyond that.

That's why I've started to take casual pictures of BKK streets, to show a more "connected to reality" view of BKK streets.


So I've opened an album on Picasa which name is "Pictures of Bangkok" (how original is it? :D )






This is just the beginning, more pictures are to come.

So stay tunes

Pictures From Angkor - Part 2

Hi back,
I'm still in Paris. I told you the transition wasn't easy.

I had to get used to the ridiculously expensive prices for pretty much everything.




So I've found a job so that I can afford to spend 450 bahts (10euros) for a not so good meal.




Anyway the topic of the post is "Pictures from Angkor Wat" so here is a sample of the pictures I took during my second trip to Angkor. The whole album is available here

Trip to cambodia 2: Angkor Temples

And for those who just wanna see a sample, check below

Just click on the last pic to open the album.

Pictures from Angkor

 

Angkor Wat, the main attraction. It's somptuous. It was 6 AM when the picture was taken.

 

The right aisle of Angkor Wat

 

Just Me, inside Angkor wat main temple

 

The Library. Just beautiful AND amazing.




These are just few pictures I've taken during this trip.

I've taken around 150 pics, Foly has taken around 220 pics. You can add Moly's and Rebecca pictures as well.

You can call us pictures freaks. We dont care, the trip was just so amazing!


Of course I've created one web album dedicated to that trip.
Just click here to get a bigger sample of the pictures. And watch them as a slideshow, especially for the sunrise.

Enjoy!


More to come soon on Banttambang.

THE picture of Bangkok

 

Ok, the title can be misleading. But I really think that this picture can symbolize Bangkok.


Because is an inextricable mix of ultra-modernity and kind of traditionnal, old lifestyle.


You will find this modern building, a brand new subway, a crazy networks of roads and freeways, and as you can see, these nice,neat, clean subway stations (invaded by Advertising of course)

And side by side with the aforementioned building, you will see this kind of old building with funny colors.

And along the road, all these small shops, and the vans that you, litteraly, catch on fly.



I really like this mix.

As I often tell to my friends, Bangkok is this perfect mix of Paris and Douala.

Definitely the place where I want to be.


P.S: The girl on the ad is definitely hot.
