Niklas Lindskog: a short daily blog from Bangkok [17]

Hi! Here's what happened on day 17 in Bangkok:  

Travel log bullet points:

* Had a slow start to the day, went out at 11. Walked towards the subway station and met a nice old man who spoke good English. We had long nice chat, since he was also taking the subway. On the way we came past a 110 year old tea shop, where two young monks were selecting tea for their temple. Had a chat with the monks too and they invited me to their tea testing. I ended up buying a packet of wonderful aged (12 years) pu-erh tea. The owner of the shop was the third generation tea seller in this shop.

* I spent the whole day shooting with the 55mm in modern parts of Bangkok, Siam and Sukhumvit Road. An eight hour photo walk including some longer rests.

Hugs,

Niklas
