Beautiful Sunday and Sublime Sunday - Adventurous Sunday Walk !!

in beautifulsunday •  5 years ago 

My Sunday started off with a very lazy morning no intention of doing anything radical i was just going to sit back and relax i had a sleep in till 10 am yep that was a late start but hey we all need a sleep in now and then. Enjoying my late morning coffee i get a phone call from a friend asking me if i could help him move a couple items up to his condo.

So much for a lazy morning after coffee and checking some emails and Steemit replies i headed of to my mates condo help him out had a couple beers and of i when. We had been talking about this overhead walkway bridge that's near his condo and he suggested take a walk along there on your way home you will find it interesting.

He said this bridge is built through the center of the city over a few major roads in Bangkok it starts from near Benjakitti Park and leads you into Lumpini Park near your condo.

I said damn that's over a 10 km walk , he said well you like walking i am sure you won't regret this walk you will see many interesting things from above this walkway bridge well he certainly wasn't wrong.

I didn't mind the walk at all the only thing that was worrying me was getting caught by the afternoon monsoon shower that was building up and ready to bucket down at any moment and i had no cover on this walkway.

Dog on the wooden balcony guarding the abandon cars below he was barking his head of at me doing his job i suppose.

I was loving seeing all these old suburban houses of Bangkok and the everyday life of people from above this walkway bridge so much character in these houses and alleyways.

Abandon Car Park.

This bit of architectural ingenuity was a classic it made me laugh only in Thailand this whole beam structure has rusted away and on it way to collapsing to the floor.

But the tree stump and the rope come to the rescue some ones brilliant thinking.

Well the storm had passed by me with only a few drops of water i had escaped this one and i was near the end of the bridge walkway luckily.

The bridge is used by bike cycles but no motor bikes allowed thank god it makes it more of a delightful walk without motor bikes zooming pass.

And like my friend said it lead me right out front of one of Lumpini's park gateway entrance but just at the other end from my condo building.

hey what about me sir hangin? What did you find in the park for me? lol..hey that place is incredible. Do you really join in and do aerobics? That walkway across the city it totally amazing too, I was surprised how empty it was. Unless they saw you coming and scattered!

What a wonderful collection of photos, my friend! This is a very different side of Bangkok but litoresque, nevertheless.
Thank you for sharing this. 🙂

Thank you my friend glad you enjoyed it and Bangkok still has a few more surprises for you :)

Looking forward to discover more of this city's wonders. 🙂

Agaim you show us some wonderful photos. I don't know what is more impressive - the park with its beautiful flowers and big lizzards or the the bridge itself. 😀

Thank you my friend... ohhhhh....you got to love it all it was one amazing educational and beautiful walk for me :)

Now, this is what I call a very interesting, entertaining and educational walk @hangin You never disappoint with your wonderful photography and I loved seeing parts of Thailand that one would not normally see in a travel brochure. (U & R )

Thank you so much my friend for your supporting words i am always so grateful when some one enjoys and appreciates a interesting, entertaining and educational post that comes to you live for Thailand..Cheers :)

I love the wealth of Thailand material that you treat us to regularly. Such quality posts. 👍 👍 👍

Wow @hangin!! Great post and photos!! That is an awesome bridge! That dog looked like he was looking right at you..lol! The park is gorgeous and I love all of your photos! I think I would be a little scaredy cat if I got too close to that lizard and speaking of "cat"..that relaxing cat is a cutie! 🙂

I didn't know you guys have ramp to allow bicycles to be pushed up and down the bridge.

Thais do come up with some brilliant ideas now and then...lol :)
