I was culling pictures and came across this one.
Our hotel was in this 'alley'.
Addresses in Thailand are given as, for example, 'Ratchadamnoen Avenue, Soi 24' which means 'Ratchadamnoen Avenue, Alley 24'.
There are sub-sois or even smaller streets.
Many of the smaller sois, particularly those not right in the main part of teh city have no street lighting and are thus quite dark. That doesn't mean they aren't devoid of smaller hotels, restaurants or other places of enjoyment.
This is the soi that my hotel was on in Bangkok; we stayed close to the airport because we had an early flight out and they furnished transport to/from.
I managed the exposure so the lcd screen looked as light, or dark, as the street.
Exposure pumped up and it looked pretty normal. The biggest danger was to turn one's ankle on an unseen pothole or to be faced with a couple of aggressive soi dogs. (I try to pick up a stick or random rebar when walking alone in the dark.)
I skipped the massage parlor and went for some food.
