Rainbow Commerce || Comercio de Arcoíris (The New Rot Fai Market in Ratchada, Bangkok)

            “Commerce links all mankind in one common brotherhood of mutual dependence and interests.” James A. Garfield.

The night markets are one of the main attractions of Bangkok. Shopping lovers will find authentic paradises in which you can buy all kind of things. In our case, neither my girlfriend nor I like to go shopping, but we do love the atmosphere of the markets and especially the food from the street stalls. So "The New Rot Fai Market" was the ideal option to get a great photo at dusk first and then go to taste different types of Thai food at affordable prices.
The photograph was taken from the fourth floor of the parking lot of "Esplanade Mall", which can be reached by walking from the "Thailand Cultural Center" MRT station. The use of the tripod is allowed and there are several levels from which you can photograph, although the higher we go the greater is the distortion that we will have to correct in the post-processing to get the straight lines in the buildings in the background.
The sunset was the best of our trip to Thailand, and the colors of the sky decided to join the spectacular rainbow that forms the tents of the market every night. We could not have a better farewell from Bangkok.

"El comercio vincula a toda la humanidad en una hermandad común de dependencia e intereses mutuos." James A. Garfield.

Los mercados nocturnos son una de las atracciones principales de Bangkok. Los amantes de las compras se encontrarán auténticos paraísos en los que se puede adquirir de todo. En nuestro caso, ni a mi novia ni a mí nos gusta ir de compras, pero sí que nos encanta el ambiente de los mercados y sobre todo la comida de los puestos callejeros. Así que "The New Rot Fai Market" era la opción ideal para conseguir una llamativa fotografía al anochecer primero y después pasar a degustar diferentes tipos de comida tailandesa a precios asequibles. 
La fotografía está realizada desde la cuarta planta del aparcamiento del centro comercial "Esplanade Mall", al cual se llega caminando desde la parada de metro "Thailand Cultural Center". El uso del trípode está permitido y hay varias plantas desde las que se puede fotografiar, aunque cuanto más arriba vayamos mayor será la distorsión que tendremos que corregir en el post procesado para conseguir las líneas rectas en los edificios del fondo. 
La puesta de sol fue la mejor de nuestro viaje a Tailandia, y los colores del cielo decidieron unirse al espectacular arcoíris que forman las carpas del mercado cada noche. No pudimos tener una mejor despedida de Bangkok.
