Star Wars? Blade Runner? No, it's just Sukhumvit! [EN/DE]

Hey guys! Today I would like to show you some results of my photo tours of the last days in Bangkok. Mainly I was in my favourite area "Sukhumvit".

Hallo Leute! Ich möchte euch heute mal ein paar Ergebnisse meiner Fototouren der letzen Tage in Bangkok zeigen. Hauptsächlich war ich in meiner Lieblingsgegend „Sukhumvit“ unterwegs.

Sukhumvit is one of the city centres of Bangkok and probably the most modern part of the city. It's the third time I've been here and I finally figured out why this district fascinates me so much.

Sukhumvit ist eines der Stadtzentren von Bangkok und wohl der modernste Teil der Stadt. Schon zum dritten Mal bin ich nun hier und endlich bin ich drauf gekommen, warum mich dieses Viertel so fasziniert.

The tracks of the skystrain, which rushes through the gorges of skyscrapers, the numerous skywalks, the hectic hustle and bustle of the crowds and the vibrancy of this part of town create an absolutely unique science fiction flair.

Die Trassen des Skytrain, der hier durch die Hochhausschluchten saust, die zahlreichen Skywalks, das hektische Treiben der Menschenmassen und die Lebendigkeit dieses Stadtteils sorgen für ein absolut einzigartiges Science-Fiction-Flair.

But I'm not talking about the sterile high-gloss flair, as you know it from some movies, but rather the authentic, dirty streetlife, as you know it from some scenes of the Star Wars movies or from Blade Runner.

Ich meine damit aber nicht dieses sterile Hochglanz-Flair, wie man es aus manchen Filmen kennt, sondern eher dieses authentische, dreckige Streetlife, wie man es aus manchen Szenen der Star Wars Filme oder auch aus Blade Runner kennt.

It may be difficult to understand if you haven't been here yourself, but I've tried to capture the feeling of this district in my photos as I experience it here every day.

Es ist vielleicht schwierig zu verstehen, wenn man nicht selbst schon hier war, aber ich habe mich bemüht, das Feeling dieses Stadtviertels auf meinen Fotos so einzufangen, wie ich es hier jeden Tag erlebe.

I hope you like the pictures and you might want to experience this indescribable atmosphere in Sukhumvit yourself sometime!

Ich hoffe, euch gefallen die Aufnahmen und ihr bekommt vielleicht Lust darauf, auch mal diese unbeschreibliche Stimmung in Sukhumvit zu erleben!

Tomorrow evening I will continue by night train to the north of Thailand and of course I am already excited to see all the things that can be discovered there!

Für mich geht es morgen Abend per Nachtzug weiter in den Norden Thailands und ich bin natürlich schon gespannt, was es dort alles zu entdecken gibt!

See you soon/Bis bald!

Nice Shots! Love your work! I‘m a photographer,too. @finkistinger :)

Thanks a lot! 🙂

Oh amazing shots! It seems like also being here in Metro Manila then. Hehe. Drop by in the PH soon too. :)

I recently watched Blade Runner and the crowded streets reminded me of Chinatown or Divisoria when it was still unorganized.

Thanks a lot! 😊 Yes, Manila is very high on my list. I will stay in Southeast Asia until April, so maybe there will be a chance to go there too! 😀

Oh I'm so excited for you. Haha.

Amazing development. Great pictures. When one thinks about Bangkok 50 or 60 years ago, all the history in between and this astonishing development and modernization, combined with preservation of their ancient culture, we can feel optimistic about humanity.
I know there may be more than meets the eye and there might be social and political problems that may threaten this beauty, but if humanity is capable of this can of change, I want to think that it can also materialize the perfect societies it has conceived.

Thank you so much! Yes, the combination of old and new is amazing in Bangkok, and that's what I love about this city! Of course there are problems, but it's nice to see, how so many people from all cultures can live together in such a city that combines the ancient culture and modern society in a way that is absolutely unique in my opinion, especially in the area of Sukhumvit.

Yesterday i was reading about some issues they are having with air polution. Did you notice that when you were there? is it that bad?

Oh yes, I can't deny that, the air quality is pretty bad in Bangkok.
