During
Songkran people roam the streets with containers of water or water guns
and powder, or post themselves at the side of roads with a garden hose
and drench each other and passersby. Water from the canals is often
used. The canals are Bangkok's sewers. The powder thrown combined with
the water creates a chalk like film that can cause damage to your belongings.

It is a small number of Black American tourists will visit S. E. Asia.
Most (over 80%) will come in groups and will be escorted by a guide.
These are not Subjects of Observation. It is the ones who come singly

to visit the temples, tourist attractions or the beaches - they

Location, location, location. If you want to enjoy your visit to Bangkok
avoiding the cities traffic jams is the key. One way to alleviate the
problem is to stay at a hotel which is within walking distance of whatever
your interests are. In the center of Bangkok one can walk faster than
traffic moves. The Sukhumvet corridor's name changes from Sukhumvet
to Ploenchit Road up to the World Trade Shopping Center and is then
named Rama 1 Road. Why does the Sukhumvit corridor's name change? Don't

If
it's traffic you're looking for you can find it in Bangkok. If you want
to avoid it you can do that as well
by using Bangkok's rapid transit system. Prior to the completion of
the two train systems traveling around
Bangkok caused enough stress to put knots in ones stomach. You had to
have the guts to experience it. Many suffered while riding in a limousine
or not. Dealing with non-metered taxis that charged what they wanted
and always found their way into traffic was a traveler's nightmare.
