Bangkok the city that never sleeps!
I arrived 1st to this beautiful bustling city late at night thinking that everything would be shut. But to my surprise the city was full of live! Every little corner that I turned had food stalls and the smell of local flavours were just so inviting.
It's a common misconception by people that we can't eat by the road, but hey that's the best way to taste local delights. It's not dirty and everything is either grilled or boiled so I reckon it's pretty safe. Plus it was yummylicious.
It's a food haven!! Yes I mean it. You can find anything here and it's simply delicious.. .The local Thai food is to die for. I tried the Tom yam ghoon which is a prawn sweet n sour n spicy soup which was mouth wateringly delicious. It was so spicy and my nose kept running but it was also irresistible. I loved the seafood here as well ..... Squids, crabs, prawns and fish.... Fresh and tasty!! What more could I ask for.
There is also a Chinese delicacy that should not be missed.... The bird's nest soup.... Hmmmm.... In Chinese it's called when translated "swallow spit" ... Don't ask me why!! but it is tasty I must say....
If you are tired of Thai food there are so many options of Italian , Japanese , Chinese and Indian .... And it's all really good.
Bangkok besides the beautiful Buddhist temples,sanctuaries, markets and zoo's it also has a very attractive night life. From big discotheques, to little bars by the road is one of the many interesting nights i had in Bangkok. Just sitting by the road at soi 11 with one of those mini vans turn bar concept was definitely the best way to have a good night out local style!
Drinks came in buckets if you wanted a cocktail which was pretty amazing. We had a long list of cocktails to choose from, we could also get some snacks from the road side stalls as well.... Meeting and talking to people from all walks of life from locals to foreigners is the best travel memory one could ever get.
The Thai people were extremely friendly and polite. Everyone was very helpful and it was easy to communicate and get around. Taxi fares were not overtly expensive hence it was affordable to get to many places and you don't have to walk.
I loved Bangkok for its liveliness and it's food and it's people.
