Bangkok
Highlights for now. The longer Bangkok notes are still being written.
The full city. The BTS decides more of your week than the neighbourhood name does. Sukhumvit, Ari, and Thonglor are different speeds of the same decision: how often you are willing to change trains.
It suits people who want scale, food, and a job market in the same place. It is the wrong city if you want quiet, or if a long commute will sour the month.
- Pick the train line before you pick the building.
- The fruit markets and the street food are the ordinary city. The rooftop bars are not.
- Hua Hin is the weekend people take when Bangkok is too much city.
