Many Faces of Bangkok
While I’d love to dive right into my entry tonight, Matt has told me that some of you have complained to him that there aren’t enough pictures. I’m taking well over 30 a day, so if that’s not enough, either you’re too demanding or you haven’t realized there’s a link beneath the first picture on each and every post that takes you to my photobucket album. If the former is your issue, I apologize. I only have so much battery for my camera. I did upgrade my storage, so that’s no longer an issue and I plan on picking up a spare battery in Singapore. Until then, you will have to bear with me and even then, not every picture will turn out. I am, however, improving, getting more good photos from fewer shots, preserving that battery and capturing more things in quality images. If the latter is your issue, you can see photos from the Philippines, Guam, or Thailand in their respective folders.
And now, without further ado, tonight’s entry:

On the West Thonburi or Bangkok Noi (either name is appropriate). While Bangkok was made the seat of power and hosts the grand palace and most of the modern sights, Thonburi is the older city, housing government and most of the people long before the capital was brought South from Ayutthaya.
