Photo Essay: Bangkok During The Pandemic

Matthew Klint Posted onDecember 17, 2021December 17, 2021 12 Comments

Bangkok is one of my favorite cities, for many reasons. I love the kind people, the delicious food, and the affordability. Your dollar goes far in Bangkok and during my recent trip I was happy to see a renaissance beginning in a city and nation that was largely shut down for so long. This photo essay captures Bangkok during the pandemic, a moment in time in which the hustle and bustle was just a bit more muted than usual. Even so, the sights, sounds, and smells of Thailand’s capital city are always a sight to behold.

    Beautiful, Matthew. Amazing the order in traffic compared to pre Covid and often chaos of Bangkok roads.

    Matt, I hope you went into Custard Nakamura. Their tonkatsu sandwiches among other things, are great.

    Bangkok is almost unrecognizable these days from what it once was.

    Didn’t know there are any “Sizzler”s” left. Certainly not in STL.

    Beautiful stuff! Can’t wait to go back to BKK and hopefully also visit some of the less touristy bits of Thailand.

    To people who live in Bangkok, as I do, it’s kind of just life as normal now. Traffic is back, not as bad as before but it’s frustrating again. Malls have people in them. It’s sad that businesses have closed but that’s more Pattaya and other resorts’ stories instead of Bangkok’s. Air travel and some foreigner attractions aren’t even at a slow normal, and bars are disrupted, but daily life is routine, beyond working and schooling from home.

    Hi Matt,

    I was surprised to find your pandemic gallery of Bangkok. Pleasantly so. I, like many, made Bangkok my home when airports and checkpoints closed and Hua Lamphong went silent. Nothing to do but eat, drink, take photos and spread yourself all over your empty hotel like it was your villa. Lol.

    I used my Samsung J2 and learned how to finesse every photo. 4,200 photos and videos. Now I have an A03. But I still have to cajole and manipulate (rolling my eyes)

    What camera do you use? How did you create this fancy website?

    I can send you some of my work just ask. 🙂

    Ivan

While not surprising, it is sad to see the growing list of carriers retiring this superjumbo jet. On Malaysia Airlines, I flew the #A380 once from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to London (LHR) and had the entire first class cabin to myself (full review on the blog). It was a beautiful flight that I will always remember.

While I’ve enjoyed catching up on others over the years, now it is time for me to return to Instagram. In this first post, I highlight two joys in my life, my two children, whom I trust will grow up to be prolific travelers that circumnavigate the globe as ambassadors of love and respect.
