Phra Sumen Fort. Santichai Prakan Park. Bangkok, Thailand.

            I liked this little park with an interesting Fort structure in it near where I stayed in Bangkok, it's right on the river.
Sketching in Thailand is a matter of finding a shady spot or a time of day that allows it. The heat and humidity are shocking to someone coming from a winter climate. My first day in Bangkok I broke out in a rash (probably a heat rash) which thankfully settled down eventually.
The sunshine is wonderful but very powerful, and the humidity left me literally dripping with sweat.
That said, I loved Bangkok. It's fascinating both as a city - an enormous one - and also a culture, the Thai culture. The wats / temples are exquisite in many cases and the dynamism of the city is exhilarating. I took a skytrain out from a large shopping mall near the centre and the dense urbanism went on for miles and miles. I got the feeling one could never really know all of Bangkok because it is so big and growing and changing very fast.
Not a great sketch, my first or second one in quite a while. Hopefully I will improve...
