Hubby just came back from Bangkok last week. They went courtesy of some tractor company. Everything was paid for, in return that they visit their tractor making factory! :)
So he stayed at Pattaya for a night, and spent the rest of the time in Bangkok. The main thing about Bangkok I gleaned from his travel tales is the atrocious traffic! Poor Hubby got food poisoning on just the second day and on top of that had to endure hours on the bus! Luckily the bus was equipped with a toilet! I read on the net that a journey which usually takes half an hour to reach could take 2 hours during rush hour! Thank goodness I don't live there is all I can say. Give me boring 'ol Kuching anytime...
So anyway, here are the pics. He forgot his camera at the tractor factory! :) So no tractor pics, though he says it's quite amazing how sheets of metal go in one end of the factory and come out the other end as big powerful tractors!
Hubby says Pattaya is a quaint, smaller town, full of
'night activity'! :) Trust him ti take photos of seafood and fruits...
They watched an
"ah kua" (transvestite) cabaret show, among other
shows...
Aren't they gorgeous? It's hard to believe that they are men, or
were men, or... I have no idea...
Beautiful Thai architecture...
Hubby managed to visit Chatuchak, a super ginormous flea market in Bangkok. Notice the seafood again...
After his torturous bout of food poisoning, Hubby didn't dare try much of the food on offer...
He couldn't resist the coconut ice-cream though, and he says it was absolutely divine!
Here he was just mulling about at a shopping mall. (Notice the fruits again) I would love to have some of that luscious looking Thai durian!! Or any of those yummy colourful gelatos!!
*drool...*
Hubby brought some of these home. It's a gummy palm sugar confection, much like our Malaysian
dodol, except this is less sweet, and also has more imaginative packaging. It is rolled in something like bamboo sheets, unlike our boring plastic.
As for me, I'm still thinking about the gelato....
mmmmm...
