Bang Phlat, Bangkok

Bang Phlat, Bangkok

Just over the Krung Thon Bridge over the Chao Phraya River lies the district of Bangkok known as Bang Phlat.

There are countless vantage points such as this all over Bangkok and the greater BMA. I don't think I will ever come close to exploring them all in my lifetime.

I believe I had come here this evening in hopes of a dramatic sky but due to heavy clouds it was not to be. I was actually ordered by police to collect my camera gear and get off the bridge due to a royal convey scheduled to pass this point.
