The smell of burnt wood is everywhere, a little break from the car smog. The atmosphere yet slightly chaotic is peaceful. We go to the nearest park to see the Krathongs without really knowing what we are looking for.

We decided to give a go to Chatuchak, just to find out it’s hot, overwhelmingly big and touristy. Luckily we found the vintage market round the corner.

Chinatown in Bangkok is a feast for the senses. The traffic moves like a slow river, motorbikes meandering through the cars. Chinatown Street Market is not for the faint-hearted or picky eaters. 

The first couple of nights in Bangkok have been spent at night, escaping the heat and sleeping off the jet lag. We still haven’t seen the city during the day but we surely have enjoyed its nights.
