Bangkok street life

Bangkok is a big city of more than 10 millions. Being the main economic center, it drew people from all over the country to make a living here. As such it is a kaleidoscope of varied life on the streets. A sample of my snapshots... it's colors & contrasts, of lives that hums on daily.

Food vendors by the streets are common sights.
















Vendors pedal their wares on streets with busy thoroughfare.





















Tuk Tuk seems to confine to older parts of the city.
















It's rambutan season.. a line up of reds: red taxi, motorbike & fruit vendor.
















Art shop in basement of MBK Mall, artists at work.
















Temples are also places to get an education - young monks enjoyed a round of ice-cream during breaks.
















Chinatown offers interesting street scenes all day long.
Passerby at Chinese temple clasped her hand in prayer for a moment before moving on.





















By evening, 2nd hand good vendors set up shop along Charoen Krung Road (Chinatown)
















He has customer even before setting up shop
















His specialty are bottle caps!





















Man having a sumptuous noodle on side street. Me too.. just the table next.





















How tired can one be? Slept on his vegeies!





















For some who couldn't make it, a public bench beneath highway is home. His dream lady painted on a pole behind?
