Bangkok/ All good things come to an end

After 4 months of travel-fun in Thailand, Goa and Bali this journey was to come to an end for now. 

My last days I spent in Bangkok and oh my, what a reality check a big city can be! Since I have been spending the past months somewhere inbetween the beach, the jungle and dusty bumpy roads, the city came on quite strong. But wow, I love to get sucked in and lost in the chaotic mess of a big city once in a while. Bigger, louder, faster...

Bangkok to me is like a filthy whore. Dirty, smelly and trying to charge you for every step you take. There is some charm to it though, the street food is incredible, street art is cool and the young kids are some stylish fucks, too. If I wasn´t sometimes too shy to take pictures of other people  I would have loved to take photographs of all those fashion rocknrollers.

Usually I´m not to keen on tourist attractions. Of course, I went to some of the temples etc but to me exploring the city on my own is much more fun and even more culturally educating then going on a tourbus and hopping off at all those places the lonely planet calls „worth seing“. To me, travelling like this is just the way to go. Cut the tourist crap, eat some street food (get sick eventually haha), make local friends and ride the local busses, try to pick up some language. Not going the safe way is so much more fun and gives you authentic experiences. Why settle down for the artificial safe version when you can have the real deal?

So everything I did basically was walking around for miles and miles, looking at some street art, taking heaps of photos and soaking it all in. (So did my shirt. Went out white, came back home grey!)
