My 20th time within your tight embrace and still you have me in awe. You still hold me enthralled at your share size, your complexities and your openness to anything, anybody and anytime.
You, as I, have changed in many ways since our first meeting and yet we are still exactly the same. As if our first encounter is re-enacted each time we get back together.
You still have your iridescent, bright pink taxi cabs. You still have your grumpy taxi drivers who have their own views on the worthiness of your destination.
Your public transport system still functions with such ease and your shopping options still provide that ability to stimulate the senses of retail lust.
Your streets hold the rich and the poor, filth alongside beautiful green parks. Your traffic drives so incredibly fast and your people are polite although the smiles seem to have faded from what they once were.
Keep growing and changing Bangkok, keep your skyscrapers stretching high, the thrill of your crazy Tuktuk drivers, your acceptance of all, your seediness, your classiness. Just keep being you!
