Another city walk: Busy Bangkok

After getting the Nikon ES-2 Film Digitizing Adapter Set at Pixpros House I went for another city walk. I got off the BTS at Phaya Thai Station and started the walk by using a narrow alley to get directly to Petchburi Soi 5 and 7.

I re-shot the busy street life there, not an easy task as there’s so much happening, just next to impossible to get that perfect image, with nobody walking or driving into the frame at the wrong place and moment. Good fun, never gets boring there, and I got some good images.

Next I crossed Petchaburi Road and took some city scape images there, patiently waiting for the Skytrain to pass in the background. I had to move on as a royal motorcade was about to pass underneath the pedestrian overpass, so I worked my way towards Bobae Market, passing by Wat Prayayang and crossing the railway line.

Crossing the railway line back I followed it for a bit. In that area there’s a noodle soup shop set up between the railway tracks, plus places where the locals sit and hang out after work. The small market at the head of Soi Wat Borom Niwat was rather busy at nightfall, lots of people living in the neighborhood buying food items for their dinner.

I used the small pedestrian underpass there to continue South, towards Hua Lamphong station. The cargo handlers at Rong Mueang Street were still busy, trucks and pick-ups were unloaded in the now fast fading light, while motorcycles arrived and delivered ever more parcels.

From there it was just a short walk to the railway station, and the restaurants opposite. I choose the Supa Restaurant as the 511 Cafe already had most of their street side seating reserved for a big group. Time to enjoy a cold Leo and review the images of this short walk!
