A Favorite Passtime: An Evening Bangkok Walkabout
Saturday, March 29, 2025 at 12:00PM 
On March 23, 2025, my buddy John and I met up on Silom Road near the Hindu temple to start the evening taking photos at the nearby market street before ending the evening at a blues bar neither of us had been to.
People stopping on their way home to grab some food for dinner were happy to see this cart.
A street market across from the Hindu temple was a photographer's delight.
Carts of seasonal fruits lined the side street.
As always, many different kinds of fruit are available.
A juice cart is a good place to meet up with friends for conversation.
Fruit as far as the eye can see!
All of these are my favorites.
A noodle soup vendor working her cart. A lovely photo.
Bulk cracklin pork . . . to bring home.
With the light fading, we headed back to the Hindu temple and a south Indian restaurant next door.
There are many small shops selling votive flower garlands for worship at the Hindu temple.
Such beautiful work . . .
After a deli.cious south Indian meal (Dossai Massala), we headed out to the blues club, about 10 blocks away. We took a short-cut through the old Silom Village . . . now nearly deserted.
Before COVID, Silom Village was a tourist hot spot: live traditional Thai music and dance, and lots of good food. I do not know why it is deserted now.
Night streeet photography is one of my favorite things to do . . . and in Bangkok it is very rewarding.
I know this area very well. This is my favorite Japanese restaurant in Bangkok, Hanaya 1976.
Our walk to the blues club took us down some pretty dark side streets. I feel completely safe in these places in Bangkok.
A speeding tuk-tuk photo-bombed my night photo.
Our destination, the Bangkok Mojo Music Lovers Bar. he club was very small, but the live bands were very good . . . although the seats were very uncomfortable for me.
