Photoblog: Shimmering Bangkok

Posted on May 27, 2009 by ‹

From its gorgeous golden temples and pagodas, to the intricate craftsmanship of its glittering art and craft, let Alberto bring you on a Photo Tour through Thailand’s Capital of religion, architecture and culinary delights.

    You've brought me back to shiny, shimmering, sizzling Bangkok!! I love those food shots, as well as that 'modern tribal' lade shop seller! I miss Thailand. I miss the chaos and the mania!!
