Random Slice o’ Bangkok Life

Went for a run this morning in Benjakiti Park – the park just behind CentrePoint Apartments. Yes, I’ve been here for almost six months and no, it has not gotten any cooler – still just as hot and sticky as it’s been since I arrived in June. A lot of people walk, and the “runners” mostly shuffle.

Here are a few photos of the park so I’ll remember the beautiful flowers and how nice it is not to have to run in the cold and the snow, which is what I’ll be doing very soon in Boston.

Every morning, there are workers out sweeping the running path. And they are always bundled head to toe – as protection against the sun. There is something very exotic about their outfits and the bamboo brooms they use.
