It's the contradictions that give the City of Angels its rich, multifaceted personality. Here
climate-controlled megamalls sit beside 200-year-old village homes; gold-spired Buddhist
temples share space with neon-lit strips of sleaze; slow-moving rivers of traffic are by-
passed by long-tail boats plying the royal river; and streets lined with food carts are over-
looked by restaurants on top of skyscrapers serving exotic cocktails. As Bangkok races to-
wards the future, these contrasts will never stop supplying the city with its never-ending
Thai-ness.
