Wednesday Walk - In the Big City of Bangkok !!

in #wednesdaywalk6 years ago (edited)

Hi everyone here we are for another beautiful #wednesdaywalk hosted by @tattoodjay today i felt like just a walk in the park to breath some fresh air , look at some beautiful nature and relax the mind after all that New Year's partying so i just took of not even knowing what park i was even heading for or what park i was going to end up in.

I decided actually on this road i could see in the far distance from my rooftop apartment this road i had never gone down before so i thought today is the day lets do it.

Walking along this road i thought to myself this would be a cool place to live a quite middle class suburban no hardly any traffic and not far from the city. Even the local dog seemed to be friendly but a bit unsure of me.

I loved this stainless steal gate with the Chinese dragons paited on the gate how cool is that.

Walking further down the road i came across this beautiful bushy flower plant the flowers looked so pretty in heart shapes and the bees were certainly in love with this beautiful bushy flower plant also.

As i am walking further up this road i notice these Thai style houses thinking it might be another temple so i veered of this road and walked towards these temple looking houses.

As i got closer to these temple houses i noticed a large park area behind these houses i said to myself i have struck gold it was just what i was looking for to get amongst that nature and breath that fresh air...lol.

As i am walking further into this lake park i could see that the locals use this park for cycling , walking and jogging around at there preference but didn't seem over crowded maybe it was due to the time of the day i was there which i didn't mind more fresh air for me to breath.....hehe.

This was one huge park there were pathways , bridges and dirt tracks leading in every direction of this huge park so i chose this pathway as it looked quite like a rain forest very green and cool with some really crazy twisted up Banyan trees.

What i did notice about this lake park was that it had mainly trees of many types Banyan trees and Palm trees mostly but hardly any flowers i spotted maybe a couple of different types of flowers i suppose they didn't want the maintenance of flowers in this park but that didn't bother me i loved the rain forest look.

This tree log was quite interesting it had some sort of fungus growing over the top of this tree log and these monstrous mosquitoes we certainly having a feast.

Well i had not realized how long i had been walking i think it was about six hours already since i had left my apartment and my feet and the heat of the day was starting to tell me you need to head home.

My feet were tired but it has been a lovely discovery this lake park and a pleasant walk seeing all this my mind and soul did feel better but my feet were saying jump on this bike which was very tempting but no let's find a motorbike taxi or Tuk Tuk to take me home.

I hope you enjoyed walking with me through this lovely paradise of a park and are re-freshed also.

Can you believe the beauty that you find, almost on your doorstep? I am always rewarded for opening up my eyes just a bit. I found a place that I walk every day because of its wooded beauty because of that.

Admittedly, yours is much prettier! :) I think it is because I really love the eclectic nature of the banyan trees. They are spoiled little children, going where they want, when they want and how far they want. :))

Was that a fig tree I spotted in the beginning? I liked the house with the dragon on the fences. If I lived there, I would want a fence with some piece of art on it, so I could admire the beauty every day.

How lucky you were that you were at peace with yourself and took the time to discover such an amazingly beautiful park. Those flowers that were reaching out into the world, were they orchids of some type? They were so delicate and lovely! They do have some of the most beautiful flora and fauna there. Well, except those mosquitos that are the size of a bird! Holy Hell-o!

Loved this! Thank you for taking us with you!

I was actually really surprised to know this was just on my doorstep but i always chose to go the other direction for some reason but i am glad now that i have discovered this little paradise it will be a new jogging ground for me now amongst all this beauty and breathing that fresh air.

Actually no they are small papaya trees and if you look closely enough there are some small papaya's growing on them little trees already one of my favorite fruits here.

And that dragon stainless steel fence is really a piece of art and those flowers that are reaching out into the world not sure but you could class them as been part of the orchid family very pretty indeed.

I was surprised that them humongous mosquitoes didn't attack me they are normally straight on to me thank god these ones had something more interesting to suck on...lol :)

Thank you again for your awesome comment and tip :)

Well, your posts are always so commentable. Can that be a word?

Yep this can be a word it's just the overall of the Steemit members that i feel haven't got the interest that was there from when i started unfortunately does that make sense :)

It absolutely does and part of it is because some of them are only in it for the money. Which I guess you can't blame them because this site is firstly a crypto site. Then of course, the social media kicked in and I believe that is where it really took off. I look at it quite differently as it is not something I depend on for my living and so I can look at it differently than somebody who is looking at it to subsidize their income.

If it is not subsidizing your income and you need it, then it only makes sense to go somewhere, even if it's another job, to make the extra needed for survival or for making your life livable. We are both fortunate to be able to live in a more upscale manner then a lot of people, so we can look at this a little bit differently is what I think.

Yes i can understand that and it's true people that need that extra income are obviously not going to hang around spending hours on something that is not going to put food on there table.

Mean while let's us just enjoy the satisfaction it gives us...lol :)

:)) yes!

It is a pleasure to find such a wonderful park not far from home. mosquitoes are terrible !!! What is this kind of tree with dangling clusters of fruit?

It was a lovely surprise to know that this park is nearby and those trees are a palm tree not a eatable fruit but i hear they make palm oil out of them seeds :)

This is a very nice walk!! Where is this road?!

Actually no i have another place in mind where i would like to live and that is more south of Thailand on the beach waterfront in the near future i hope :)

oh..on the beach waterfront! yes I'd like to live there too. It will be a great place to visit. You get the place so I can come visit and have an ocean view! Or is is some other kind of body of water like a lake?

Your quite welcome it will be a beach front modern 2 bedroom apartment across the road from the beach front with clear white sands and with the best views :)

oh that sounds wonderful sir hangin! And you will be able to afford this because prices are lower over there?

That had to be so exciting to find such a beautiful park so near to home! I expect we will be seeing more of this lovely place!

It definitely was a surprise and i will be visiting that park again so much more to see there :)

I can't wait!

What time is it over there must be close to mid-night right ??

You always up working late your so dedicated nice to see :)

11pm here in the Midwest. I'm off to bed soon, unless I get distracted by something here! 😉

Haha ..That's what happens to me ...ohhh...will just have a look at this or reply to that and by the time you know it a couple more hours have flow by...lol :)

It's almost mid-day here in Thailand and i am going to the beach soon to meet up with my girlfriend i will enjoy the sunshine for you and you enjoy the snow for me...hehe :)

This is not the enjoyable kind of snow! Have fun at the beach! Wish I was there!
