More pics of Bangkok

Greetings yall,

I'm doing better at making myself take some pics, as some of you know that is not my thing, but here are several more and some captions to go with, enjoy.





typical tasty street food vendor, set up right outside the seven 11. me and my 2 new friends from Holland sat and ate here. pick 2 and rice for 30 baht, just under 1 dollar, yummy





spotted these young children doing a quite long choreographed dance in the parking lot of their school at night while on the way to see some muy thai (kick boxing). they were hitting it pretty hard, was quite impressed, very cute, kinda hip hop style dance, gave them big applause when finished.


typical thai bathroom, no toilet paper, just a water sprayer that us Americans usually see in the kitchen sink, hope it aint too cold.



pre fight muy thai ritual, pretty long and elaborate, very cool to see. the fighters are very spiritual guys, lots of bowing and praying before they let the knees and elbows fly, and more praying in between every round. They also have lots of respect for each other, no trash talk.


watch out for dem knees

all girl thai cover band on a roof top bar (Gazebo) on Kho San Road. They were really quite talented and got the place going good, alot of fun and chatted briefly with them during set break.


my 2 new great friends from Holland on the left Rob and Jeannatte, and some random German girls we met on Koh San Road that joined us for a beer. Its so refreshingly easy to meet travelers, especially on Koh San Road.

mmmm... cooked grasshoppers, crickets, beetles, and who knows what else. I only saw Thai people eating them and farang (foreigners) gawking and taking pics

party time in the club with my Dutch friends and some thai girls we met and shaked our bootys with, great night of fun, the thai ladies love their dancing, and their foreign men, doh ;)

view from the tallest building in Bangkok, The Baiyoke Hotel, has a revlovling roof top deck with an amazing view that really gives you feel for the enormity that is Bangkok, also has a killer buffet restaurant near the top, lets just say i got my moneys worth.

slaughtered pigs being delivered to markets, restaurants, street vendors late at night. No sanitation requirements here obviously, just thrown in the truck and these guys riding with them

This place, Seafood Market and Restaurant, literally had more types of fish than i knew existed, hence the slogan. Yogi David Williams said this is one of his favorite restaraunts in the world, so i checked it out with me Dutch friends.

you pick out your fish, then weigh and pay for it before they cook it, then order your veggies and drinks, and have to pay again, was tasty

I stumbled on this one getting off the sky train, Florida in da house!
