Welcome to Bangkok


Welcome to the organized airport, heat and air conditioning. To the flawless and cold metro. The directions everywhere so you won't get lost. Welcome to the smell of food everywhere.
Welcome to the mini-skirt and freedom. To the sexual and assexual tourism. To androgyny and transsexuality. Welcome to the waiting in the sideways until the pedestrian signal turns green. The wide avenues and skyscrapers. Parks within the city, trash bins and massages.
Welcome to the sympathy and the market. To the gentle negotiation that makes you quit the hard bargaining. Welcome to fashion, stress and the suit-and-tie. To the make-up and diet problems. Welcome to Facebook, tweet, iphone, ipod and others alike.
Welcome to the smile, gentleness and shyness. Welcome to a city that walks with pride to have a strong personality.

Welcome to Bangkok!
