A Day In Bangkok
by Cami Shelton
The end of October finds us in Bangkok, the day before we fly to India. While we are lucky to have been in Thailand frequently, it never ceases to amaze us with it's beauty, diversity, assault on the senses, the food and of course, the people. Breakfast this morning -- sitting in an open-air cafe -- hot, humid with the fan stirring the air. A cart piled high with mangos passes by, while another vendor with wedges of deep-red watermelon and spirals of golden pineapple, all on ice, is surrounded by folks buying a slice to go. A woman hanging laundry between two banana trees; dogs and kids, young men on motorbikes delivering baguettes, limes and more to the small cafe which turns out an amazing array of food from a simple kitchen -- spicy curries, fresh vegetables, juice drinks, cold beer, good coffee and tea -- a full range of Thai dishes -- The setting is tropical with stands of bamboo, orchids and frangipani, mixed with more earthy scents as well. The days pass too quickly wandering through the markets, along the banks of the Chao Phrya River, and on Khao San Road, the ultimate and fascinating backpacker ghetto. Wish we could buy you a big Chang (local beer) or a lemon ginger fruit shake.
