I'm not a fan of the street vendors here in general and they're out of control in many parts, but that was a nice area to visit and something that added to Bangkok's charm. Another step towards turning Bangkok into a Singapore with pollution and traffic gridlock.

I only clicked on this headline because I wanted to see what kind of dead flowers they were selling at this market, it sounded very avant garde.
