Clearest Sky I ever seen in BKK

Yesterday while I was on the plane to BKK, I saw the clearest sky ever in BKK. The plane was about to land and it was around 10:15 pm Malaysian and 9:15 pm Thailand time. I have been to Bkk countless time but yesterday was a sight that makes me think that I am in heaven. Too bad I could not share with you guys as I do not have a digital camera, my next dream toy. My wife has one though hahaha.

It was quite an amazing display of lights. It looks like blood veins lighted up (cause by x-ray dye) in a CT scan process. The lights from the lamp post were like dots in a big puzzle ready to be connected. It went on endlessly with thousands street lights converging into the end of the earth horizon. The “lights display” was enhanced with the occasionally lights coming from planes gliding slowly in the night sky and also by the lights from the vessels and sampans below near the port.

My wife told me it’s probably due to continuous pounding of rains drops for days that have also choked the city traffic. This morning was back to the dull bkk with the rain clouds building its ammunition ready to pound the ground again. Now I am in the apartment sitting in a comfy chair blogging using my wife fujitsu notebook. I will be going back to my house to wait for the white ants terminator. I just hope on our way there, we will not get wet. This white ant is really a pest sometimes, it kept coming and coming, I hope the mutant cells in my body are not like that.

Oh try visiting it....but advice to go to places like chiang mai instead of Bangkok. Bangkok is good for shopping only.
