and so we ran from the hotel
to lumpini park
to the subway
to Hua Lamphong (woah)
to Baiyoke skytower (woahwoah)
to central world
to the hotel.
yes, quite a lot of running. and a few cabs.
so.
the very beautiful and very very spacious lumpini park.
you dont get this kinda space back home.
the subway, so like our own back in singapore. clean and efficient. maybe all designs for subway stations come from a book that everyone must follow. they use the same materials and lighting and flooring. hmm.
above ground. this is thailand.
this in singapore. (the little india station.)
enough said.
Hua Lamphong. Bangkok's main railroad station. Busy, bustling. This i've never seen. The structure is old, obviously something built with a form serving its function. still, there is something about it, something that says a lot about the capital it serves. Could be the unhygienic hawkers, the red plastic seats or the tranny's awful singing in the drama they are broadcasting on a gigantic screen. i cant decide. could be the way they play chinese new year music in March though. oh well.
the glass wall which separates the public space and trains are held up by steel beams. very industrial. the whole place could be easily mistaken as a warehouse, i think. a fancy warehouse.
Baiyoke. paying for a view. oh and what a view. those who chose networking as a topic loved the place.
i just enjoyed being so high above sea level.
a typical use of glass as walls, as in all buildings which reach soaring heights and want you to know. the glass walls here are screwed onto steel frames, and sealed with silicon.
the very predicatable highway network drawing, by yours truly. facing the east.
we leave and go to central world for a book run at kinokuniya. then of course, fly back to the hotel. and then we came back. yay.
