Well it's Halloween in Bangkok, and I was caught woefully unprepared. First I didn't even realize it was actually Halloween until about mid-day. Traffic was ridiculous coming home from Thong Lor, I asked about 6 taxis if they'd bring be home, all refused. Finally got a taxi to take me to the BTS (skytrain), rode that to the station close to my condo, and then caught a taxi the rest of the way home. Traffic was crazy even on my soi, and what should have taken about 3 minutes ended up taking 20 minutes to get home from the BTS.
Now, as I'm pulling up I see a bunch of kids dressed up as witches and such exiting my building. Uh oh, I had no candy. Quick dash up to my floor reveals more kids waiting at my door. Argh, feel terrible as I literally have nothing to give. So, after a quick change into some shorts and a t-shirt I dash back out to 7-11 to pick up some candy. Back home and then I'm the one making the rounds to my neighbors with kids doors dishing out some home delivered treats. Ahh, my conscience relieved.
Bangkok, never one to let pass a reason to party gets pretty wild on Halloween. Parties everywhere and people dressing up. The biggest celebration is on Khao San Road, the famous backpacker area (although now it's more of a trendy area).
I'm sure there will be lots or pics up in the coming days, so check out Flickr for Bangkok Halloween pics.
