We land at 11pm (Bangkok time). We get to our hotel by 12:30am. Checked-in and to the room by 12:45am. On the streets looking for a late night cart by 1am.
Sitting at "Mr. Dim Sum's Fire Hot Pad Thai" food cart in the -Sukhumvit East at 1:15am. Over a flaming wok in his NY Yankees winter beanie, he's scowling at his wife who's manning the register and apparently not giving
him what he needs for the wok. He's throwing the unacceptable ingredients back in her direction. She's throwing them back down harder into her glass box of vegetables and such. One malty fresh Sing Tao and the BEST Pad Thai ever. Along with a seafood pancake so ocean fresh you'd think Mr. Sum had his wife fishing at the harbor just moments before we arrived.
Next cart please. We walked about fifty feet amongst sleeping dogs and wide awake infants to finish the night with a bowl of sympathy seafood noodle soup. Another husband and wife (much happier together) worked with such pride over their broth and salt water cuts. Then back in a cab through the maze of Bangkok to our bed. If I'd had thought of it I'd had taken a photo of the bed to close this entry. I'm a day or two behind. I'll try to get a bed shot in before we leave the city.
