All through the waterways this procession, as in the painting, passes endlessly, graceful and swiftlychanging, with colours that charm, merge and clash, constantly exciting the senses. The Kodak shutters go click, clickety, click. A priest in a yellow robe, shaven head, with an alms-bowl and an aloof, withdrawn face; add a woman peddling fruit, and that is any street in Bangkok. In the early morning you will see the priests collecting their food for the day from devout housewives; then the heat comes down and Bangkok becomes a steam bath. Peter McIntyre's Pacific A H & A W Reed 1966
