Comments on: Bangkok's Ghost Towers. http://www.neatorama.com/2007/09/22/bangkoks-ghost-towers/ The Neat Side of the Web Wed, 25 Nov 2009 08:02:27 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Adam Stanhope http://www.neatorama.com/2007/09/22/bangkoks-ghost-towers/comment-page-1/#comment-232074 Adam Stanhope Mon, 24 Sep 2007 01:25:25 +0000 http://www.neatorama.com/2007/09/22/bangkoks-ghost-towers/#comment-232074 I've been to Bangkok almost every year since 1988. It is amazing how quickly and robustly the city recovered from the economic downturn that produced these "ghost towers." Also of great interest are the hundreds of various developments that were started outside of Bangkok across the country in rural locations. Most of them have been almost entirely swallowed up and "disappeared" by the humid concrete-destroying climate and the aggressive, super-healthy vegetation. If you're interested in Thailand, I invite you to check out some of my Thailand photos on Flickr: http://flickr.com/photos/astanhope/collections/72157601927205189/ and my daughter's: http://flickr.com/photos/taksapon/sets/72157600837301090/ I've been to Bangkok almost every year since 1988.
