As always, I enjoyed getting lost in a famous city. I just had an idea of my location and the directions for getting to this place from the maps I gathered at the airport but I didn't look for streets in the map to reach to this POV. The bad thing about walking in this country is their street planning... there were lots of dead ends, I didn't have a choice but to go by taxi to get back to my hotel :)

I walked in small streets and saw a lot of unusual things, specially in the wet and flee markets that I accidentally passed through. I also went to the red light district of Bangkok, but my dislike of the culture of exploiting women as pawns in a carnival-like environment was overwhelmed by my curiosity in seeing how they play Ping-pong or opening beer bottles with their private parts.

Nice composition and great pp works...Im a little bit distracted with the structure on the left, which you could have burned to conceal it a bit..Anyway its just me!

Cheers!

Wonderful Freddie !
Very warm colours.
Don't think the photo need " flare " : it's strong enough by itself. Don't mind.
I would remove that small red line on the left.
( but hey ... )

Thanks for the funny note !
It was " educational " >:-)
