Thailand

Thailand
Bangkok, Ko Samui island

The Thai people are so gentle and calm.(even Ronald McDonald got into the act by calmly clasping his hands together to greet patrons with a ever so calm "Sawadii ka!".....and the atmosphere is so calm in Thailand....and the beaches are so calm....why then is Thai food so WILDLY SPICY!???

Just a few pictures from the trip タイからいくつかの絵をあなたに見せさせてください。

In one of the Food Courts I found a drink stand. 飲み物は緑色であり過ぎました。They were literally mowing the grass and then blending it into a green drink that many people washed down with some apple juice. It was like wheatgrass juice back in California, but I had never seen it served in this manner. Of course I tried it. I asked the nice clerk for a green lantern special and she squeezed out a glass for me. It reminded me of the Football fields back in school just after being cut. I pinched my nose and downed the glass in a gulp....then it came back up my throat....too green! too green! red flags were flashing in my eyes as I tried to force it back down my throat....too green too GREEN!! Nasty! I know what it's like to deep kiss a cow now......I found my salvation with the desserts on the humid summer days and a Starbucks brought me back to reality.
We ate at a very good seafood restaurant in Bangkok that had a live fish tank. They had the biggest Mantis Shrimpシャコ類I had ever seen! They were as big as my hand. The waiter said they could be served grilled or in a red chili sauce. I couldn't order them though because the mere size of them scared me!
