Thailand - Bangkok - Bangkok, I Hardly Knew You

We only had two days in Bangkok in the end and I was wiped. I did some shopping and I did some eating and then I got on a really long not so great plane trip to Italy. Heres what I can tell you about Bangkok...

1) It is not nearly as stinky as I was led to believe... its smelly-ness is on par with other Asian cities.
2) The sex tourism is just as bad and pervasive as I was told. On one street, we thought a club had just had a fire drill, but it was all ladies of the evening doing their rounds. It easily could have been 50 girls on one block and it made me very sad for them.
3) The street food rivals Mexicos for best eats.
4) I wish Id had more time to shop and see the giant Buddhas. But mostly to shop. Next trip.
