Bangkok, Thailand: Thai home cooking?

Question: is there any particular link between The Thai and the eggs? In a popular area without trends or tourists I‘ve first noticed the « thing » . Rewind: I come back, look with a culinary attention, bissfully smile at the unruffled pedlar. Original and unheard and graphic: THE eggs kebab! Then I go on with the Siam Paragon delicatessen, lost in the huge eggs department. Pisctachio green, pink Schiaparelli, flesh-coloured giants ou mottled Xsmall ones… of many different birds species. I very near have indigestion and « The Birds » of Hichcock! Pause: no more eggs for… Any clue?

Bangkok, Thailand: design shopping in Thong Lo and pop cybercafé, True Life

wbcyber2

Let’s meet in Thong Lo, one of the hot spots of Bangkok! In the laid back and pop cybercafé True Life, for drinking smoothies, surfing, relaxing and snacking. Stop at BTS Thong Lo (tube station), then go to Soi 55, also called Thong Lo (soi means street). In this long street, take the local red bus or a Tuk tuk to shop in the different refined home design shops. Thanks, here no huge tower. True Life is down on the corner of Soi 10. Great psychedelic screen saver matched with wallpaper. And nice lounge to chill out…

Bangkok, Thailand: urban culture

Pictures 1, 9 & 10: the new tube, so easy to use, with sits first for bonzes, children, pregnant women and eldery persons ! Pictures 2 & 3: old school phone box, a huge moment of solitude (how can I use it without a fluent Thai? What about the area codes?)! Picture 4 & 5: fronts like the Hong Kong mansions of the Wong Kar Wai’s first movies. Pictures 6 & 7: funny architecture with a view to… a bit of Osaka, with the three levels tube, kind of Blade Runner’s movie. Picture 8: « Sexy Folie » stars of teenagers, the cover boyz white complexion and enticing poses.
