The Sky Train system in Bangkok was planned to be the answer to all the traffic problems of the city. I remember joining thousands of others on the first day that it opened on the King’s birthday in 1999. In theory it was a good idea, but in reality it didn’t work well as it wasn’t very extensive.

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Bangkok, Thailand by TravelPod blogger Meganmargureite titled "Inter-National Anthems" Meganmargureite's travel blog entry: "I think that where a country decides to play its national anthem can teach you something about how the people of a country, or their government thinks its people, spend their time. Take America for example, the national anthem is (dare I say) almost exclusively played at sporting events.

I felt it, my mates felt it, most of us in high-rise felt it and the folks in the north felt it most. A roof collapsed and someone died I was told.

I thought it was loads of drunk people out on the beach and that somehow the full moon party had been salvaged at the last minute....happened...and that I had missed it. However, when I went out to investigate it turned out three navy boats had come and docked in my beautiful sea in the night, and they were now up at the crack of dawn doing their exercises. My God, the racket! Not so bad though, at least it woke me up! Waiting at the pier for the boat was quite amusing.

No longer do we have to wait for the newspapers the next morning or watch the news on tv at the top of the hour. With twitter we get instant breaking news from people like you and me who happen to be in the right place at the right time
