Colorful Metaphors Float Through the Air

So, the hotel is just off one of the longest and busiest roads in Thailand - Sukhumvit Road. It runs from the center of Bangkok all the way down to the southern end of Pattaya. There are no crosswalks and very few street lights. Instead, for the safety and edification of the pedestrians, they Thai people provide bridges across the street. They are tall enough that double-decker buses can pass under them without trouble and wide enough for three people to stand abreast. They also afford one of the most interesting views of daily life in Chonburi.

  1. Exactly. The colors and architecture alone make this a beautiful country. Throw in the people, the plants, the animals, and the land itself... Stunning.
