City of life

Bangkok, city of life, i saw on a poster on the skytrain. Bangkok is different than any other major city I’ve been to in that it really has no center. There’s the old Bangkok, cluttered with temples, markets, and the working class thai. Theres the new Bankok, mostly the east side of the city, with shopping malls, resorts, and nightclubs, catered to tourists, expats, and the more social elite among the thai people.

There is perhaps no such “born on the other side of the tracks” example of any city I’ve seen.
