"Bangkok's humid breath, jasmine and exhaust, welcomes me back after four years. A work trip, hijacked by the insistent whisper of my sketchbook. Here, temples bleed gold, streets chant aromas, and tuk-tuks dance a raucous ballet. But it's the faces, etched by time yet laughter-etched, that truly captivate. Over tasty curries, we reclaim stolen moments, COVID's cruel puppetry cast aside. This sketchbook, then, is a human connection hymn, an ode to a city that whispers back in clinking ice and shared laughter. Bangkok, I surrender to your unrelenting magic, armed only with my pen and the stolen moments I'll paint on your portrait. Let the meandering begin."48 pages of sketches, photographs and travel thoughts by Whee Teck.Order the book here:https://www.smashingsketches.com/bkk5days-sketchcrawl
