Bangkok does not ease you in. The heat hits you before you clear the terminal. The traffic is a system that only makes sense from inside it. The temples appear between glass towers without warning or explanation. It is a city that makes no concessions to the idea of arrival — and that, eventually, is the thing you come to love about it.
Draft in progress. Photos and full write-up coming soon. The skeleton is here — the story follows.
