to Bangkok



This was on a sixteen hour long train journey between Surathani and Bangkok. There was a Pantry-car that served Noodles, Yogurt, Coffee and Beer. The only seat empty was the one in front of this cop. I drank my Chang Beer and he his coffee and we smoked a hand rolled palm-leaf beedi. 





Arguably the best food in bangkok (according to Sohrab) is Crisp Fried Basil Duck at Soi Samsen, near the blues bar. This is what the dish looks like. And that is Shiela (from Shanghai - a very cool photographer friend of Kapil's)


This is the secret museum of a famous photographer/collector (philip blenknisop) - where he collects rare-weird-cool artifacts from around the world. In a small alley in Chinatown -  it seemed like this was where artists had their hidden studios. Unfortunately the museum was locked and so was his apartment.
