The exotic streets of Bangkok

After two days of jet lag, I decided it was ready to do some sightseeing in Bangkok. I dressed shorts and shirt, and wore a towel and a bottle of ice water to pour over my head to protect them from heat stroke. I would not let a little monsoon maintain within me. My husband, Dick, came, reluctantly, but I knew it was to maintain control over my habits impulse. He's not a buyer. I can not help it if my DNA is full of sample sales and discount figures. This is what most women. I do it well.

The sights and smells of Bangkok can not be adequately described by a mere mortal like me – but I will try.

Bangkok is a hodgepodge of elegance, misery, delicious aromas, and putrid odor – of system overworked, under sewer built. Tourism would be a problem, I realized. I had to keep my head down and a wary eye on the pavement to prevent several bricks and rocks scattered here and there. An obstacle course waiting for the finger unstable bastard. I had heard that the archaeological excavations revealed civilization was alive and well in Thailand for over 4,000 years. Could these bricks are the remains of their excavations?

melting asphalt stuck to my shoes while trying to make my way through the streets smoking. Dirt, dirt and debris cluttered the sidewalks, buildings and alleys. tourists and expatriates running around the world filled the streets, along with the wonderful Thai smile. Bangkok, who had read, it is truly an international city and one of the greatest mixes ethnicity in the world, with people shopping, buying, sales and trading, cooking and eating. I found myself caught in the frenzy and excitement.

Shops, stores and more shops, selling leather goods, ready-made clothes of wool and silk made by tailors, Thai and Chinese art, Ralph Lauren shirts authentic jewelry, paintings, shoes, and household goods. The cars with the sellers of fruit and soothsayers tucked into little booths dotted the area. My eyes could not keep pace of my thoughts as we surveyed the excitement around me. All that heart of Mrs. desired could be produced, and all I had to do was ask! I loved this place. Vendors gracious smile wai and disappear, returning a few minutes with only what the lady asked. And tailors were everywhere, each offers ready to use in twenty-four hours. If you had a favorite team buy in, say, Nordstrom, and he wanted duplicated, all I had to do was give the measure and two more would be ready for the next day at one third the price paid for the original.

In fact, if you paused long enough, it is possible to find come to you with their tape measures in hand. In a match as I was looking through a shop window when I felt someone touching me. I turned. "What are you doing? "I shouted to the man surprised me. I was worried that might be one of those experts had warned me pickpocket.

"Sokay lady, fit you stand FOH new clothes. We do what you like Goot baht FOH. "

"What kind of clothes?" "I asked, not so worried.

"Genuine copy, lady!"

Have something to measure, and a copy of "true" was exciting, but I had nothing me at the time of giving. "Maybe I'll come back and bring something."

"Sokay, sokay, you come back latah, yeth?"

"Probably not today, but maybe … "

Dick had been reviewing some western boots in a shop window when he heard the transaction takes place. "Christ do not start. It has more clothes you can wear and furniture that will not put them in. "

"No mattah" said the seller, pointing to my pants. "I do FOH copy now."

"Well, I like these …"

"Not enough to go? Come, come," my husband hissed as he grabbed my arm and started walking away. The seller was perplexed to the outbreak of Dick. Later I learned that is outside Thai character for raising his voice or show any type of aggressive behavior in public. It is fundamentally against their nature and Buddhist beliefs. To witness this type of behavior is not acceptable. He looked down at his shoes.

"Excuse me?" I glanced hate Dick. "Could you be more rude? "

"Yeah, well, you know when it comes to shopping. Say goodbye, let's go."

I glanced apologetically provider when I turned to leave, but made a mental note of your area. I return – sans husband.

I've watched dozens of these vendors lurking. They had an area where they made specific business, but rather walked up drums, something like a tailor's representative. If they found some living who had drag them to the store, drop them off at their facility and then go out and find another customer. I figured that was asked of all bodies brought in. I was sure I was going to find the right place when I returned.

Dick complained that he was hungry, a euphemism used to make me go shopping. We follow our noses to food smells, but as they approached the area slowed. "What?"

"Maybe we should wait until we return to hotel .

I could hear the fear in her voice. "Vamos!" What are you afraid? I do not see any tourists bowed with signs of botulism. "

"Maybe I've been here a while.'re Used to the food. We have U.S. stomachs. These things may give us clues."

"We have to get used to it sooner or later we'll be here for a while and think of eating as the natives, not tourists."

"And while So we suffer? "

Geez, what a coward! "We will create antibodies.

I went past him, wondering what to do if I have a case of races here in downtown Bangkok. I should put some in my bag Lomotil before leaving the hotel, a purse that was heavier a pallet of bricks as I kept adding all the things that keep me from feeling that everything that everybody said I got.

With buckets of chicken boiled – feathers floating in the water – frying fish and oysters, along with the harmful gases from cars and sewers, it is easy to understand how a rookie could get nausea. I walked and sniffed it. Oh the smells, some good, some unpleasant, musty flowers, and spicy fish and other unspeakable.

Some more below find the source of odors. The natives were hawking their products at food and card games, cars, wooden tables, concrete blocks, display and sale Treasures, and serve food. A car can take and genuine Rolex wannabes look like pearls and rubies, while the next could sell fish – cooked or raw – while flies were undoubtedly falling voracious larvae, as it hovered over the food. With a hand gesture to disburse the flies, and the exchange of one baht, left to food iron digestive system Thai chicken curry noodles, shrimp, squid, and the important staple food – rice.

Together the food tables with T-shirts, shorts, "genuine" Gucci handbags, leather trousers, watches and more "The direction of" perfume Dior. The following car can be loaded with cooking pots squid, shrimp or noodles soup, sending tantalizing aromas to the heavens. I took a quick look inside of the pots. I could have sworn I saw some very dubious looking characters bearing an uncanny resemblance to the octopuses, bats, snakes, and strange looking mushrooms. Maybe I'll go into the soup. The next car could be moo (pork) or gai (chicken) and mee grob, the national favorite Thai fried noodles.

Permanent rest, below the food carts, dogs were always hungry, waiting for a bite to fall in his way. This was one of the most pathetic monuments which had ever seen. Literally dozens of dogs roamed the city, most of them look sick and thin fur, which comes in large patches. Some were bleeding from scabies flea-infested crusted invades most of his ravaged body. With their hind legs in constant motion, as scratches, which seemed to be constantly standing on three legs. The years of inbreeding and lack of attention left canine more like caricatures than real dogs. Some appeared to have begun its descent of a large breed perhaps with a smaller infiltrate the love nest. Many had at least one of his legs broken and twisted, either to the head of a motorcycle or a car.

The Thais do not seem to realize the pitiful creatures as they walked around or stepped over them. But never seemed bothered by the sight of them and Most do not even bother to chase them away. It seemed that tolerates – as did the farangs – without showing animosity.

The number of stray dogs I'm without a home. In the space of a few blocks, we have seen, and almost ran into dozens of them. Some of them were mating, some Looky-loos looking forward to mating, the fight were very few, and some were just cooling their heels for a bunch of garbage waiting for a juicy morsel himself discovered. The dogs seemed to have the same personality Thai kick-back, lying, lying in the middle of a street or highway or just sleeping on food carts.

Adding to this excitement Carnival type, on sidewalks and streets, merchants were pushed or drove their mobile kitchens in what appeared to be old Schwinn bicycle with a sidecar attached. In top of the sidecar was a shelf with a butane burner, which keeps food hot, tongue. On the street they sell – fires burning, boiling kettles and pans swaying back and forth.

Later I saw fragile little thin wheeled carts with pots hanging from the cables on a small butane burner, boiling full of delights. Ten to twelve plucked chickens staring eyes open, without force hanging on wires stretched across the car. The seller, after to shoot fly, grab a handful of chickens and throw them into the boilers, along with boiled corn on the cob and fresh vegetables to top the well-balanced meal. Next to these, cart, and stacked in blocks, were a profusion of tape recorders, cassettes, candy bars melting in the heat, and statues of Buddha. This looked very unhealthy for American standards, in fact, a Health Department inspector could fall to stroke, but I said damn fly larva and ate with abandon. I asked what seemed like food, but the little things that dumped jumping that appeared to be floating in the water. Dick chose for corn on the cob and rice.

I had made up my mind that if I was going to live in this country, you better learn to like the food. And just as I did. In fact, I can close my eyes today and remember fondly the smell and taste of Bangkok.

After a busy day of shopping, walking and eating, slept like a trunk – concrete slab mattress and everything.
