Photo of the Day 5/22

Bangkok, Thailand
When I took this picture I was crossing the street via the above ground footpath. I thought to myself, “people in America probably assume that Thailand is like the poorer parts of China: farmland and no buildings.” Well, I think it’s important for people around the world to realize that not all of Asia is as undeveloped as they’d like to believe (or be told in school/by the media).
Most of Asia is developed and beautiful, like Bangkok. It’s quite clean and the people are friendly. Of course, you will have those sections of town which have been neglected, but for the most part it demands respect, and acknowledgment that Asia is better off than we’re told.
