Boning Up At The Siriraj Medical Museum

Siriraj hospital is a major, old medical complex on the west bank of the Chao Phraya, just across from central Bangkok. It's so big and a teaching hospital that there are several museums located there. Come for a flu shot, take a look at some skulls.

The museums are geared more to visiting school groups than the general public. The presentation is educational, not entertainment.

An iron lung machine, a polio relic. Hall of quirky gynecology.

A display of pregnancy progress. That baby just keeps growing and growing.

Ye olde medical equipment. Plenty of awful things preserved for teaching lessons. Don't play in traffic.

Impressive diorama. Rescue workers recovering a body during the aftermath of the 2004 tsunami.

Bangkok Noir

Heavy humidity, a sudden downpour, glowing lights of the metropolis, all elements to add intrigue to night in the big city of Bangkok.

Around the eleven of 7 Eleven.

The metro and a religious altar, garishly lit by nearby buildings. The billboard that doesn't sleep.

During a downpour, the scooter riders wait.

Alley of perspective lines. Bright lights, their glow spilling from adjacent highway billboards.

A pen of banana trees, fenced in among the glow of the city.
