Bonkers on Bangkok

...I'd heard that Bangkok was several things-dirty, crowded, sleazy, exciting, fun, polluted, extreme- and it definitely lived up to each and every one of those things.
Somewhere between rip off ping pong shows (about as erotic as a polystyrene) being hassled to buy "sexy movieees" having bird feed thrown on me and demanded to pay for it, seeing the 12th gold temple of the day and almost getting whiplash from a tuk tuk I began to understand that Bangkok teams with life-its never ever quiet, its never ever clean, its never ever calm and its never ever boring. Everywhere you go the sights, smells and sounds are an assault on your senses, which can be exhausting but is ultimately invigorating.
