Saturday Morning in Bangkok

// February 27th, 2010 // No Comments » // Pictures

I got up fairly early this morning and decided to spy on my neighbors as they went about their Saturday morning business. (I did feel like quite a stalker.) Bangkok is busy on the weekends – laundry, cooking, shopping, cleaning, fixing cars, making deliveries – and the view from my balcony is fantastic. (And yes, the pigeons tried to attack me again. They’re evil.) Enjoy all of my Saturday morning pictures here @ Photographic Daydream.
