Another day in Bangkok. Got up at sparrows fart (although have not seen a single bird here) to go to the floating markets. Slammed the door a couple of times and turned up The Mavericks as loud as i could as payback for tne amorous indian next door. Guess you have to say you have been to the floating markets, but not worth the 2 hour drive there. Luckily we had our own driver so could scarper when we wanted to. While wandering around the stalls a lady held up these enormous pair of pants and called to me these fit you. WTF!! She had those suckers wrapped around , tucked between my legs and tied front and back before I could say no thanks and WTF . The conversation went like this: see, they fit. But I dont like them and they are too baggy, see, they fit; but I dont like them, see they fit, but...........well, you get the picture! We caught the river boat to Pantip Plaza without incident. I picked up my prescription sunglasses I ordered the day before. Half the price to Australia, nice glasses and perfect prescription with graduated lenses. Jules spoke to a lady from Australia at brekky who told her that she and her husbandv come to Bangkok regularly for dental treatment. It is a fraction of the cost in Australia, the clinics are modern and spotless, the surgeons and dentists are trained in Australia AND her husband and her get to have a holiday during treatment. Little restaurant down the lane, I was people watching as usual. Couple came in. English man, Thai woman (the usual) although this couple appeared to be married. I pinged the guy for an accountant: Harry high pants, bland face, hair parted on the side and plastered down with brill cream (or similar), about 50/60s. They sat behind us so Jules was the spotter. I could hear his scintillating conversation though! Dollars, percentages, grams, comparisons etc. On and on and on! Yep, I can pickem! His poor suffering wife escaped to the loo for a lenghty time. Couldnt blame her. Then when the waiting staff came to take their order, only he ordered of course (the wife clearly not bright enough for this task). Beef and mushrooms with oyster sauce. With beef and uummmm mushrooms, oh, and oyster sauce. What a catch that guy is!!!
