The sky was already dark when the aircraft that we were on landed on Suvarnabhumi International Airport. We expected there's nothing for us to do once we reached Bangkok and checked into the hostel. Imagine how surprise we were when after we put our bags into the room and went out to explore that the night market near our hostel (Silom Road) was still open and peoples were roaming around shopping for pirated goods and cheap gifts. Massage parlours and food stalls were crowded with people.

When we went to Bangkok, election was still ongoing. Banners and posters of various political parties were decorating the city, hoping to draw votes while belittling others. The tension was felt but that was about it. We were lucky that no demonstrations or political rallies on the streets throughout our trips.

Other than that, that brief outing at night also provided us a glimpse into the underworld side of Bangkok. Night clubs and pubs were aplenty and catered to everyone of every need, openly. It was truly an eye opener, no doubt about it.
