We took an organized food tour of Chinatown in Bangkok with Magical Tours
Lots of activity on the street. Here is a young woman selling arranged flowers
Lots of temples and shrines dotted the area
Tuk Tuks lined up in front of the station waiting for customers.
The next stop was for dumplings and Chinese filled buns. We had a great group that night - A very interesting and knowledgeable tour leader, a young couple from Belgium and Canada, and an entomologist from Brazil. Everyone was energetic, smart, and here for less than three weeks.
We then hit the streets, looking for more to eat.
Even though I resisted, our tour leader insisted that we have a picture together that evening.
We arrived at the meeting point, Wat Mangkon, pretty early, so we walked around a bit.
An older woman beginning to set up her vegetable stand
We ended that meal with bamboo leaf-wrapped savory sticky rice mix with sausage, mushrooms, and nuts. Surprisingly, very, very good.
It was very crowded.
Durian - the King of Fruit
Lots of fresh cut fruit for sale.
Our first meal of the evening was fried fishcakes, pork, and chicken satay.
