If you are interested in the football game then you must know that it has two halves. The same is case with Bangkok; we can divide this city into two distinctive halves by day and by night. You can notice such a great contrast in the both halves. At day time the city is absolutely like a business and trading center where you will meet with business men and industry related people everywhere but on the contrast, at night time, the city is fully bustling and lively when neon lights sunlight of parts and completely entertain you. Catch flights to Bangkok and enhance your lifestyle with the excitement of the city.

Some Real and Interesting Facts About Bangkok

The Big Mango, or the Big Jam. I have been living in Bangkok for near 7 years now, and I more often than not ask myself this question; why am I living here? Hopefully this article will help me release some built up tension.

Like a huge amount of others, I originally came to Bangkok on a backpacking excursion across Asia. I spend 4 ½ difficult, tiring and yet memorable months struggling in India (at that time I wanted to make sure that I covered everything so that I wouldn’t have to go back there ever again!!). Trekked in Nepal (and definitely want to go back there again) and then came to Bangkok. Running short on money, I decided to hang around.

Bangkok

I suspect that the main reason for most men of why they find Bangkok so interesting is the infatuation with Thai women. After all, opposites attract and all that. For me, this was certainly the case, although I’ve never been interested in the nighttime working woman, and I’ve never been good at chatting up the rest.

Now in a long term relationship and married (happily most of the time), that element for me is lost. Also, after the first 5 years, the women (although still beautiful) become less different, less beautiful.

So what about the nightlife. We’ll, rumours have it that Bangkok has a good nightlife. I’m sorry to say that this is not true. Pubs and clubs all close a 1pm. Whenever a good nightclub opens, it gets shut down within 6 months. Take the Ministry of Sound club on Sukhumvit Soi 12. This shut down within less than 1 year. I originally thought that they weren’t making enough money. Then I met with the guy who organized the Ministry of Sound in Bangkok, and found out that they were doing incredibly well and making heaps of money. What happened?

The other club owners got jealous, paid off the police, and the police started raiding the Ministry of Sound every weekend, making the guests give urine samples, and forced the Association to stop (presumably just to cover my …..!!).

Another nightclub, Mystique, had the same problem. This time I heard that a powerful politician, who lived near the noise and shit annoyed the place down.

There are of course other places of entertainment, Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy, but for me today, I prefer something a little less bleak.

I have a real estate agency in Bangkok, called Ideal Homes (Did you know? Www.property-Bangkok. Com). There is still a hugeamount of development going on in Bangkok, and there is still far too little control by the government over this. Bangkok has one of the worst city planning I’ve ever seen. Most roads don’t have pavements, they are narrow and yet surrounded by 30+ story buildings on either sides. It often takes me 2 hours to drive from Ekkamai to Ploenchit. I can perhaps arrange for viewing 3 or 4 properties with a customer in a whole afternoon. Thai people drive very selfishly and cut you up and undertake without giving a care, I think this shows their true nature . Driving is not much fun, and it’s hard to be productive in Bangkok with the amount of time wasted.

Walking isn’t much fun either, especially in the hot season (let’s be honest it’s always hot!). Cheap home made public buses farting out black clouds of lead laden emission. I have a nasty habit of wiping my brow with my shirt sleeve, and by the end of the day my shirt sleeve is black.

In my profession, I have seen thousands of condominium units in Bangkok. I continue to see new condominium units every week. Very rarely do I get exited. It’s just another 2 bedroom box-of-a-home shoved into 70 sq.m. of space. I cannot understand how someone could spend 6,000,000 Baht on this type of unit and call it ‘home’. There’s nothing homely about it, a 70 sq.m. hamster cage. It’s not the same as the ‘home’ most of us grew up in.

I myself am in the process of purchasing my ‘home’, and I have a limited budget to do so. I am looking at something around 5,000,000 Baht. Having looked at condos, houses, this and that, I have settled on a housing estate near to the outer-ring road. The estate, with wide roads, surrounded by greenery, has no street dogs or labour slum that has set up camp next door. That’s the other thing with central Bangkok, you can have a huge grand house with everything, and as soon as you leave your front gate then bam… street urchins begging for Money.

This particular property is located near the highway. It 'easy to sea to reach the airport. The trip to Bangkok, the part that the center does all the time to 4 km in the area. The 10 kilometers more who travel every day, does not add much time to make the trip to this 10 km further is the free flow of traffic. The estate is also adjacent to the new elevated train link between the city and the new airport, which will hopefully be the thumbbe completed in about 3 years’ time.

I’m looking forward to removing the everlasting city hum, smog and trash from my life. Of course, it helps that I’m married to a Thai; otherwise the prospect of buying this house in this quiet commuter area as a foreigner would be out of the question. Bloody xenophobia !!!

I was in Bangkok to see the happiness first became cosmopolitan. Of course, women still always trying to dress and look very nice, the men could go to restaurants, more expensive pleasant, but for the most part, when I first time in Bangkok (1986), again, and overwhelming, I would say I felt like a great urban village. In what other 90% of the urban population that belt and go to work on buses river? And despite the flaws, the race of the big cities (and thanks to the Vietnam WarBangkok has become notorious) for the people were much friendlier and more relaxed than they are now. The truck appeared worse than ever.

I love the old Bangkok, and in fact, when I arrived it was already ruined! Too much noise, too much pollution, not enough medical care, some (though not overwhelming) cemented hungry people, street children, popular culture channel for large boulevards and tall buildings, the entire modern urban decay has been graduallyCreep when I was there for the first time. I can not imagine what the city must have been like 30 years or 50 years. With the exception of the brief occupation by Japanese troops during World War II, I believe that was then, I never would have gone back to the situation. However, until the '80s (when the market really started creeping in) I could have everything to make them happy, once dazzling city of my country. What was not to love (even the noisy tuk tuks have their charm, my wife and IIn recent days, also got one of the famous Oriental hotel)?

Unfortunately, now the surface architecture of Bangkok is cruel, only one more generic Asian city huge TV screens, contemporary business, transit modern city's distant and unfriendly inhabitants. The lower classes in Bangkok there are still large numbers, in fact, but no one is friendly and everything is more tired. I am no longer a visitor, when I go to Bangkok – I'm a tourist and there seems to beone is interested in me as a person, she just wants my money (well, not all, but it certainly is annoying). Everything has become expensive. These are the compromises we make to development. I found a new Shrinaga The
