Oh, how I wish I could visit Bangkok again. I was only there for a few days, thirteen years ago, before a cruise. It was so wonderful...I had mangosteens, for the first time, such a magical fruit. The only other place I've ever gotten them was in Barcelona, at a fabulous market on Las Ramblas. I was so impressed with the reclining buddha at Wat Po that I wrote a poem about which appears in the book of poetry that I finally published in May, at the age of 65.
Still considered myself as a girl, someone dear to me used to say .. I'm more beautiful every year passing by!
My main blog is My Bangkok Through My Eyes
The King, the Queen and the Royal family are highly respected by Thai people.
Visitors should show respect to the Royal family and not engage in criticism of them. Also, people should stand still when the national anthem is played.

Little note from me :)
Most of the photos in this blog were taken either by me or my friends. If you want to use it, please do please acknowledge the source of the image and let me know by leaving a comment, and sending me the url of your site. I'd be happy to know you like my photo.
However, I myself may get some other source photos which I feel it is matched to my writing theme/mood. If I use someone's photo I will definitely give full credit of the source.
