The familiar and the exotic constantly collide in Bangkok: megamalls sit side-by-side 200-year-old village homes;
gold-spired Buddhist temples share space with neon-lit strips of sleaze; slow-moving traffic is passed by long-tail river boats;
and streets lined with food carts are overlooked by glitzy rooftop restaurants.
