Bangkok 2

Bangkok....
 
aunties. uncles. cousin.
speak thai. eat thai. look thai. sound thai.
can't read or write thai.
home??? Retchathewi. Bangkok Metropolis.
don't leave home without mobile phone, money, and..... map of Bangkok City.
 
the delicious, piping hot street foods. grilled pork slices. soup-noodles. small snacks.
the road-side stall selling lime juice, bottled Coke, cold desserts.
freshly cut tropical fruits.
everything to cool off some summer heat.
 
the babes/hunks/tranvestites. yes, the whole lot of beautiful people. take your pick *wink*
the ang-mo backpackers. the dreadlock hairstyle. Khao-San Road.
sights and sounds. smells and touches. united colors.
vibrancy of a city, coming alive, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
 
the infamous traffic congestions. the parade of SUVS, CRVS, Benz, Toyotas, Hondas and trucks.
the world-class drivers --- Tuk-Tuks. Cabbies.
the riverboat rides. the skytrain. on foot.
the not-as-polluted air.
the clean streets. seriously, the environment has improved greatly.
 
huge shopping malls, selling everything from clothes of all colors to sex-toys.
night bazzars selling all sorts of wears/wares.
the girls swinging pole-dances welcoming the lustful.
the men who try to look/sound/feel like women.
the drug peddlers. the police.
 
the dinner buffets at Sheraton by the Chao Phaya River.
the wine under the stars.
soaking up in the bath-tub.
sipping coconut juice by the swimming pool under frangipani trees.
cuddling under the blankets watching in-house movies.
 
gained: a superb and relaxing vacation. a good time.
doubled up with a fun, crappy, easy-going and lovable travel-buddy
forgot to bring: digital camera.
lost item: debit card.
 
Next Destination..... :: Bintan
