If you click here you will be taken to google maps and have the chance to see the lay of the land as well as high lights with additional facts--I use this function on google maps all the time when I travel!
The video is from my hotel and it is a great view of the city--this time of year most of Southeast Asia has a haze all day due to the heat and humidity!
Today's blog candy is from a Bangkok stample--Jim Thompson. A comapny with a very long history of making super fine cotton scarves and shirts and some of the most beautiful silk designs you have ever seen. This cotton scarf is bright pink and white with an elephant motif. The elephant with the trunk up is a symbol of luck! Who ever wins this is sure lucky!!
oops, video is stil marked as private, I'm here too early LOL!
ReplyDeleteI am having a problem also. Says its private.........so disappointed :-(
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarf. Will have to watch the video later as it says it is marked private.
ReplyDeleteI, too, will catch the video later, but I do love that scarf!
ReplyDeleteNo video for me either, but it is a beautiful scarf.
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is a perfect representation of the
ReplyDeleteThai culture with those elephants marching across it! My daughter traveled to Thailand & celebrated her 21st birthday there in 2002. What a lovely gift/reminder of her fantastic trip that scarf would make!
What a beautiful scarf. Can't wait to see the video so will check back later.
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteHad a video problem. What a fun scarf to share.
ReplyDeleteThat was a neat peek at Bangkok!
ReplyDeleteVideo was great, I could see the river. 1 1/2 hours on a bridge, it could fall before you get off. No way. Nice to see it's green. Hope you had a good day of traveling. TFS :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your travels with us....very interesting!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your travels. But this post keeps making me sing the bits of that song I can barely remember about 1 night in Bangkok. So it's "la, la la one night in Bangkok la la la", because I can't remember anything more about the song lol. It's only fair to share since your post started it lol.
ReplyDeleteIt's a gorgeous scarf!
Bangkok looks a little like Atlanta in the summer, hot and hazy. It's great that you share
ReplyDeletethese videos as I love to see different parts
of the world! What a pretty scarf too!
Thanks Bryan! :D
Not so sure I could have dealt with all of the humidity. It is great seeing different parts of the world that I probably will never see in person. Thank you for sharing with us.

ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us traveling with you...this is fun. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat type of job do you have that takes you to all these areas? It doesn't sound like you are on a vacation. I love the videos.

I'm really enjoying "my" trip! Very interesting!! I had a friend once who had lived in Thailand. She loved it, especially the food, and really missed that once she moved back to the US. I remember something about fish sauce or something like that. Anyway, hope your insect bite is all cleared up. Keep sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
THAT IS COOL! DON'T NEED A SCARF IN FLORIDA RIGHT NOW BUT THERE IS LOTS OF TIME FOR ONE. tfs

ReplyDeleteI need some luck, I've been lacking that lately! :)
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying your videos! THANKS!
ReplyDeleteBryan, thanks again for the great video. I can't believe how hazy it is there. I live in the great state of MN, where you can see forever! Haze like that in the big city is very uncommon.
ReplyDeleteBryan, now your talking.. Been to Thailand several times..love their silk fabrics..and how they actually make silk and scarves; etc.. Wonderful; amazing country.. you are right about the humidity...Wow it's something else ..you walk out of the airport and the smog hits your ..feels like you can cut it w/ a knife.. I had to wear a mask at times when in Bangkok. Thnx for the chance to win..and sharing your adventures..
ReplyDeleteHaving never traveled out of the USA, I am thoroughly enjoying your mini travelogue. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful scarf!! I do collect elephants with the trunks up!! Maybe they all will bring me good luck!! I am so enjoying your videos!!
ReplyDeleteI never imagine Bangkok to be so built up...I'm still imaging the location for Indiana Jones, lol.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be able to travel as you have and see these places. Thanks for the videos and chances to win.

MShady
Ooh that scarf is beautiful. Mommajo
ReplyDeleteGood morning,Bryan!!!I'm enjoying my trip here in Bangkok.What a view, I can't believe how hazy it is.Sounds like we have a full day of traveling to do.Thanks so much for having me along.
ReplyDeleteI need to travel!!! This is so great! thanks for sharing
ReplyDeletethanks for the video...love your travel shares.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it sad that there are places in the world that you can't just shoot pictures of the amazing things there are to see?!? Thanks for taking us to Bankok!
ReplyDeleteWow, they must feel very cramped! I like that scarf. It makes me think of one of my oldest and dearest friends. Her name is Ellen. When we were in high school her nick name became Ellie, and then Elli-phant. And she does love elephants. If I win this scarf, I will send it to her. Thanks for bringing us along on your trip!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun shopping and finding all those fantastic little treasures. Keep going! I love following along.
