To Do or Not To Do

Me: So much to see and do in Bangkok, yet you can just veg out if that's your desire.  A lazy day in Bangkok: sleep in, coffee shop down the road, walking a bit, lunch at food court, afternoon massage, more walking, fruit shake, resting a bit, then evening to-do list.  

Friend: Too right, mate. Vegging here is fun as well, well said. Then, one can go out and see nearly anything, at any time of day. I went to the Klong Toey market at 2:30 a.m. one morning, I kid you not. It was hopping. Live ducks and chickens were coming in. All kinds of vegetables, lettuce, produce was flowing in. I believe it is the big wholesale market for fresh goods in Bangkok. I have also been by the flower market, near Thammasat, on the Chao Phyra, quite early as well. All kinds of flowers come in by river from Thonburi. Then, they are bundled up and distributed, all over the city. It is really interesting to see how the flowers are put into different lots and shipped and trucked all over Bangkok. I find it very interesting to see the city kick into life in the morning.
