Views of Bangkok from The Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific

The The Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) building is one of only a few tall buildings in this part of Bangkok. It offers beautiful views of a beautiful city. ESCAP's regional focus is managing globalization through programs in environmentally sustainable development, trade, and human rights.

Staff Association

The staff association at the organization I work for was organizing a fund raiser recently so I offered to take a few photos for them to use in the various office circulars and internal publications. I am posting some composite images from that day.
