Combing the back streets of downtown for a vantage point on WOHA Designs’ The Met, we got a taste of the real Bangkok. I’m always intrigued by the stunning visual contrasts between the new and old ways of life in developing cities. With no multi story buildings to access, peering above fences provided the only opportunity for the views we needed. This particular spot came with the added potential for on-site catering from a street vendor selling fresh fried chicken. At least it looked like chicken and I’m sure the oil was only a few weeks old.

We passed on lunch for a variety of reasons. One could elaborate but that might involve letting the cat out of the bag.
