Chinatown, Sampeng

Reached Chinatown. All the Soi(s) and lanes are filled with shops, shoes, clothings, toys, accessories and so on and on and on...Some lanes are so narrow only for 2 lines of human traffic. But shoppers local and foreigners are polite to give way. Some shops are retail and some are wholesales. Crocs lookalike, fashion shoes, hair pins, hair clips, umbrellas, cow leathers, toys in bulk and anything that will feast the eyes and drain the wallet. Public toilets of 2Baht were tucked inside buildings but clean.


Food carts on wheels that is extremely mobile, coconut in its shell 20Baht, steamed corn 10Baht, Pomegranate juice 40Baht and charcoal grilled banana, sweet potato, tapioca, squid, tasty and cheap! The charcoal give its' the aroma and best taste. I think I have reached the no frill heaven of food...1 word of caution be careful, the place is crowded, my backpack caught the wire mesh where the food sit and almost make a big mess. Quickly I apologized but not without some Thai harsh words from the lady...my bad!
