Here are some pictures for this weeks Corner View. The theme - “Outside the car window”.
I’ve complained many a times on this blog about the traffic here in Bangkok but for this weeks theme – sitting in traffic was actually a good thing.
Oh and before I share my pictures let me reveal a little bit more about me and my life here in Thailand. I, actually we (my family) have a driver. The company my husband works for discourages us from driving. So they provide vehicle and driver. 2 years into this assignment I still haven’t decided whether i like having a driver or not. I will share about this in another post…. someday.
Anyway so here are my pictures. these pictures where taken on our way back from downtown Bangkok.
Motorcycles – and many of them. It is the quickest way to get around. (if you are daring enough)
Temples. And there are temples everywhere.
Reverence for the Buddhist faith is very strong in Thai culture, so there are temples (wat’s – as they say in Thai) everywhere be it in the city or village. These temples are here to serve the society. And also great tourist attractions.
The toll – before we get on the expressway home.
The view from the expressway (it was a clear day) home.
So there it is. My pictures outside my car window.

Wow, so different from where I live.. it's absolutely fascinating! The temples are magnificent. :)
I wish my husband´s company would give me a driver. At least this week..so I could have made my Corner View. ;)
But what an amazing ride you gave us. One day I have to see this for myself!
Have a great week, Jeannette
Great pictures. Thanks for allowing us enjoy the view from your car window with you.
Love the photos of all those motorcycles... so cool to see more of Bangkok..
those temples!
thank you and have a beautiful week!
exotic travel ! :)
Very exotic... !!! So many motorcycles here !!!
I can imagine it'd be a big daring to ride a bike in heavy traffic. I personally dislike driving, and would welcome anyone who'd it for me!
Oh my. Such a different view from all around the world. I love the line of motorcycles and the colors and symmetry of the temples. Thanks for sharing it all with us!
thanks for the ride !! you really get amazing temples !!
Amazing! SO different from here!! Thank you!
Very nice! I was in Thailand in '06 and saw some really nice things and loved the affordability of so much. Read about the King's health yesterday.
hey kari! thanks for the tour. so interesting. i love learning about your corner! besos-jane
What a beautiful view! I don't think I would get tired of looking at that; especially the temples they are so colorful.
amazing! I'll bet you see something new and interesting every single day!
I love colors, impressions, this beautiful temple and this blue sky ... I am right in the middle of a trip !
kari
such a beautiful view!!!
I just love your photos, you always capture the theme so perfectly. I think I could get used to a driver, I don't actually like driving very much as I have a gift for getting lost.
Wow, now that's a sight to see everyday and I would love to have a driver! I could sit back and relax and do my nails or something!!!!
It's a far cry from rural GA that's for sure. Thanks so much for sharing and visiting my blog.
Wow, incredibly gorgeous!
The temples are beautiful! And wow, so many motorcycles! It was great to see more of Bangkok. :)
Thank you for this ride so interesting!
Such beauty surrounds you there. The temples are gorgeous. The expressway reminds me of the Los Angeles Interstate Highways.
These temples are gorgeous and look like castles...
There are lots of temples in Japan too but they are more simple and less colorful... Thank you for sharing!
Holy WOW. great shots. thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a message. I love all the bikes.
