Hot, sticky afternoon and I feel the need to get out and point a lens at something. There is an area off Theppasit road where you can insert yourself into danger in a variety of ways. First there is a bungee jump, claimed to be the highest in Thailand at 60 metres. I do have a list of things I would like to do before I die; but bungee jumping is not one of them. If it were on the list, I think I would leave it till last, because judging by the condition of the bungee cord at this place, it could be the final thing I do.
