On my way to Australia in 2016, I had a brief stopover in Bangkok. Three days weren’t enough to explore the entire city and I haven’t seen much of it, but here are the pictures of the places I visited.
🇫🇷 Sur ma route vers l’Australie en 2016, je me suis arrêté à Bangkok pour une brève escale. Trois jours n’ont pas suffi à explorer la ville toute entière et je n’ai de loin pas tout vu, mais voici mes photos des endroits que j’ai visités.

I was very surprised to see this giant varan in Saranrom Palace Park, in the middle of Bangkok! Apparently, there are a lot of these varans than can measure up to 3m in Bangkok, which is a big problem in the city
There was even a varan up in the trees!

Much friendlier than its neighbours the varans: this lovely little squirrel
