An evening in Bangkok - February 19, 2005

Rapee writes: Having been away  from home for more than 6 years, Bangkok today is beautiful than ever. Having said that, well, at least I mean those nice areas like the financial district, Silom. A couple of months ago, in the evening, I was walking around Silom and also Lumpini Park and couldn't resist taking some pictures of those nice looking buildings in the district. I hope the readers of 2Bangkok.com will get the sense of "almost like being there" even more from this series of Photos. Enjoy.

Nice looking buildings on Rama IV Road, right in front of Lumpini Park. Note, an entrance of Bangkok's first subway system can be seen in the foreground, a white curved structure near the bottom of the photo.
