I always enjoy experiencing a new country for the first time. No matter how many stories you've heard from other people, everything is relative to your own perspective, interest and experience. I may be able to say that I've ridden the train in Bangkok and had a wonderful experience. Someone else may disagree based on their experience. As we ventured down to get our visas yesterday we were blessed to be able to listen and watch Thai people going to and from work or school, as well as peer out the window at the different city structures, construction, art etc. We had a few hours to wait for our visa so we hopped back on the train to go to the shopping district (Siam) just a few stops from us. It's full of name brand (and high end) options and while it was fun to window shop, it was more interesting to watch the tourists mix with the locals (some college students meeting for groups, workers taking lunch breaks etc).
