Following the Thai tradition of eating constantly, I had an attack of the munchies whilst out and about today. For some inexplicable reason, though, instead of taking advantage of the plethora of great Thai food all around me,
I’m ashamed to admit I found a….
MacD*****s behind one of the many ‘Spirit Houses’ that adorn this great city. I also have to confess to quite enjoying my Buffalo Burger, or whatever it was, sitting outside and watching the world go by.
Opposite this splendid ‘restaurant’ an ice cream seller offered an interesting selection of goodies.
I’m not sure the medical profession would necessarily agree that eating ice cream will lower cholesterol or burn fat from the spare bits around my stomach, not that I was tempted to try with the content claiming to be made out of a mixture of vanilla, charcoal, green tea and bamboo! So I will never know.
Bangkok is, of course, a very cosmopolitan city with an eclectic mix of race, colour and… fashion. I’m beginning to easily spot the different oriental races from quite a distance, certainly made easier in the case of the Koreans and Japanese by their distinctive head gear.
Splendid!
I would like to understand the water transport system here a bit better as it’s certainly a less stressful way of getting around Bangkok.
That’s if you know where you’re going, of course. So I settled for a tuk tuk ride back to my apartment instead
which took me past a reminder that the festive season is upon us,
So, until the bells jingle!
