Bangkok, Thailand

[Moogle Pepper]

I went to Bangkok, Thailand. Can't really say that I enjoyed it all that much there ... I got some nice shots, though at the time I only had the starter lens. Which ... stunk, if I went there a month later I would have had my filters and new lens. Oh well. There were a lot of things that went wrong during this trip, I got sick twice. One from food poisoning and another from malaria, or something very close to it.

But other than that, the pictures came out nice. And that's what matters. This summer I am going to Ireland. So that should make up for that.

This was outside the new Int. Airport there. It had a really nice garden.

the indigo blue lighting coming from the beams was a cool effect. I thought it was pretty.

The hotel that I stayed at.... we broke too many things in the rooms...

From the balcony the water looked soo nice and clean. But up close and inside, it didn't look so nice.. [I should crop out the roof...]

I got a lot of nice, but too far away sunset pictures. This one is one of my favorites.

Travel and photo buddy ... too bad the AWB wasn't right at the time, but it has a neat effect.

Uhmm... hahaha! We were driving, and getting lost, in Bangkok and one of our friends was feeling kinda down. Though we never went to one of those... uhh sex shops, we just wanted a laugh so I took a picture of this advertisement.

hey moogle pepper!

thanks for sharing this private insight into your trip to bangkok! it's fun to see people aiming their camera to their friends some more instead of all the material/non living things. It's too bad you just stayed in bangkok because i can imagine the thai nature/beaches has much to offer :D
Was it smoggy there? a couple we met in malaysia showed us a photo they took in bangkok and it looked like a cloud just moved into the city.. :huh

yeah thanks! We stayed in the Bangkok area because ...majority of them said stay and explore Bangkok. I was the only one who wanted to go around Thailand. Bunch of dorks, I am not rich. I like to see everything I can because I paid a lot to travel out here.

We ate a lot here. Mainly because we were so hungry.
