Bangkok Trip, June, 2008

Delicious Ice creams

Oh I had a wonderful holiday in Bangkok with my husband last week. This was our third trip together and we had fun, not exploring the new places but eating and shopping. Though I find shopping, hectic and tiresome but it is fun sometimes. Food in Thailand is always good for the meat lovers and we both had fun, though he was kinda sick with an upset stomach (that didn’t stop him of eating). Whenever I am there I am always amazed to see women all over the place. Be it in the clothes shop or a car shop or even in the computer shops, more than ninety percent, we find that women are taking care of their business. I wonder what does men do, and where are they, if not to be seen around.

The gals works so hard and all those beautiful young girls who we see with the foreigners, I feel thay have their own sad stories to share. Once I read a book called "My name is Lon. You love me?" Tells the story of a gals journey as how she becomes a prostitute and struggles to keep up with life to secure her families needs. Many times I wonder how they communicate with their clients with such limited or no English.

Whatever the reason, I love the way they talk and say " No Have" or "Swa dee kha " and I just try and say "Kha pan kha" or "Thank you".
