On my last wednesdaywalk@wednesdaywalk i was still on paradise island in Koh Samui , Thailand and i mention that my boss had asked me to come back to Bangkok city as he had some work i could continue with by spending a little time at the office and but mostly working from home which i didn't mind after been on this beautiful island for a month i didn't mind coming back otherwise i would of quite easily gotten use to this life on the island and never had wanted to come back to the big smoke.

I was really surprised to see the city so deserted it wasn't this quite when i left the city a month ago. Main highways , train stations all ghost towns.

I have seen Bangkok city when it is full of life with energetically vibes but what i was seeing in reality was quite scary a sole vendor on a once crowded busy street was had to imagine but i was seeing this i did have to rub my eyes a couple of times to take it in.

I never in my life thought i would see this day and i am very surprised that the Thai people with a population of 65 million in Thailand are actually doing as their told even though we are not on lock down but have been asked to stay indoors we can still wonder the streets as long as your wearing that mask.

The poor street vendors all closed down so sad to see this it's one of the reasons tourist come to Thailand for the great street foods.

Getting more close up i could see this was some fine art work many hours had gone into creating these masterpieces , i really appreciate when graffiti work is done in a way to tell a story or resemble something.

Onto the Skytrain and home , i go at the station the guards were practicing social distancing don't know why there is no one at the station nor is there any traffic on the road and this was just after 7.30 pm where you would normally be bumper to bumper on the station and on the road but not today.
