What is the idea or impression that you have of Bangkok that you want to convey to your readers? Give yourself a narrow enough scope to focus on so that you can give adequate examples to illustrate. Are you going to look at people (who? what aspects?), at places (Samyan? art galleries? boat piers?), at the climate (weather of a particular moment, day or season? the political climate?), or at a theme or idea (innovativeness? dirtiness? history? future prospects?)? Have a focus and don't forget to give vivid examples and details that reveal the Bangkok that you see. We will share our Bangkok impressions in class tomorrow.
