Bamboo wind, temple gates, quiet climb.
The city held in a granite bowl; the day rewritten by 180 metres.

Leopards live here; the city forgets you.

Bangkok's 'green lung' — a jungle peninsula the city grew around and forgot.
Sulphur, silvergrass and sudden hot springs turning altitude into medicine.

A train ride into a forest sanctuary — maples in autumn, monkeys year-round.
