Bangkok is excess in all of its unrestrained glory. Greater, far much better, much more: the city is insatiable, a monster that feeds on concrete, acquiring malls and diesel exhaust. The city demands that you be in the existing and in the 2nd, not constantly for a spiritual epiphany, but since the metropolis is self-absorbed and superficial, blissfully completely no cost of wrinkle-inducing self-reflection. Smiles and sà·nùk (the Thai term for ‘fun’) are the vital passports into Bangkok tradition. A compliment correct here, a joke there - the demands of social lubrication in this megalopolis are extra akin to a modest village than an anonymous city and a necessity for survival.
