Bangkok Streets

Tuk-tuk drivers waiting to take you anywhere
 You can get just about anything on the streets of Bangkok, a mass chaos of food vendors, tuk-tuk drivers, trinkets for sale, and everything in between. The streets and sidewalks are crowded with stands, cats, dogs, people--all vying for your attention. The sounds and smells are overwhelming and you also can't help think, especially if looking at the infrastructure, on just how safe (in terms of health and building codes) it all is.
Wiring on one pole--and this is typical.

Cooked pineapple and yams

Varies curries

Fresh coconut

Offerings to made at the temples

Fruits and vegetables for sale

Waiting to go somewhere

Durian fruit-- you can smell this fruit a mile away, and that is not a good thing

Sea food by the pound

already dried and salted and waiting to be a mid-day snack!
