2009/01/08 Bangkok - Lumpini Park, Chinatown, Miscellaneous City

Lumpini Park
This is a picture taken across the running trail toward one of the weightlifting areas. These areas are outside amongst the trees and are open to the public for a 20 baht/day fee (about 57 cents). They're basic but functional.

A monitor lizard in the pond. It's hard to get a sense of perspective but it's about four feet long. A baby.

Stray dogs. Yes, they look friendly but they're wild. You can feed them if you like, it's good for your karma and good for theirs.

This is the same view as the night shot in set 4 of the food vendors set up. During the day the space is used as a market.

Axles
This area near Chinatown is filled with small shops disassembling and refurbishing car and motorcycle parts. This is an alleyway shot of a pile of axle parts which are being broken down in the various shops. There are piles like this all around the area.
