Sights & Sounds of Bangkok

Some video’s Rob took and thought he would share. #CAMS  Here is us going through a Soi. A Soi (ซอย ) is the term used in Thailand for a side street branching off a major street.

Bike for Mom (aka the Queen) was a biking event held this weekend with over 200,000 participants to promote national unity after the military coup last year.  It was also used as a forum to bolster the “leadership image” of the current Prince (and possibly future King).

A tuk-tuk is essentially a small rickshaw with a motorcycle engine. While not the safest / most reliable/ most trustworthy form of transportation, they are at times a “must use” in the public transit-lacking city of Bangkok.

A video of Wat Benchamabophit.  The sounds is the monks praying. And while they are not seen in the video, all several dozen of the temple’s monks are inside the red / gold door at the very beginning of the video.
