I can't believe I fell for it again!

A little tour of Bangkok today.  Now amigos, as wacked as we were last night, we were a bit hungry by the time we checked into the hotel...so, down to the street went!  Within a couple of blocks we found a little swarma(sp?) place right in the thick of most things sex trade!!!  Rumors of Thai girls being delicate flowers went out the window.  Swarma was wonderful...girls, not so much!

Today, I made the fateful error...sorry, THE FATEFUL F#^*@$& ERROR of going shopping with Cassandra!!!  We travel half way around the world to end up at a big shopping mall!  I know, I know...the women say "what do you expect?"...the men just call me "moron".  HEY, it started innocently enough with a ride on Bangkoks version of the Skytrain

 

 and at the far north end of the line was an old market that specialized in many things...like paramilitary uniforms!   It was an old time market that looked like this

  

 ...and had things like this

  ...work pants for the sex trade

  ...and something everyone wants in their house (4-5 ft tall!)

 ...once we got out of that place, we had to go through a park to get to the Skytrain...that's where I found the next Miss Thailand!

  Crossing over the road on our way to the NEW shopping mall...typical Bangkok traffic!

 

 The NEW mall had these 20' high Versace ads...

 

...here's what that sci-fi mall looks like!

...and for the engineers out there...don't you think the wiring is up to code?

One more day in Bangkok, then off to the beach!  Mr. Corona is quickly becoming Mr. Singha...eeeeha!
