Shrine, Bangkok

Shrine, Bangkok
Originally uploaded by JonathanTheMan.

Sukhumvit Road in the centre of Bangkok is a study in contrasts - one side of the deafening, choking main road swish hotels and glossy shopping centres; the other a clogged pathway full of filthy stalls, legless beggars and scam artists; the road itself a multi story monster like something out of Blade Runner. This little fenced off shrine looks so peaceful in the photo that it is hard to imagine that it is about 3 meters away from complete mayhem.
