Bangkok @ July 2008

Almost the high end of smooth luxury combined with the softness of faces, grace of hands, happiness of smiles, that's Bangkok.
The world of calmness and relaxation, that's what hotel lobby spaces in BKK are (Shangri-La, Interconti or Oriental): artificial paradises, the total opposit of the derisory European accomodations and those reluctant faces, with highst level of possible service.
There is even no need to read newspapers in these smooth spaces, no news, no TV, no reality, just the illusion of a nice "place".
The east Asian relaxation culture in Hotels / spa's/ restaurants (specially the Thai version) unifies all those basically divers images of our mind referring to a good being-there while sitting, eating or doing nothing.





At night:

Club "Spicy": the end of shame. Authentic, no "electronic" delusions like the expat clubs (bed supperclub, glow, Q bar, narcissus etc, forget them), JUST: rhythms & bodies, nothing else.



























































Restaurant "Long table": seeing the night from above along a long, very long table, while listening to minimal vibes and watching pixie faces in the all but darkness of the room.
