Back from Bangkok (again)!

We've just come back from our holiday in where else.....Bangkok....again! Love the place. Maybe because everything is much like Singapore. Busy, noisy, always moving, always eating, always shopping. It's home away from home. I also love how gentle some of the Thai girls are. I'm not alone. Hubs was fascinated with this salesgirl at a FBT shorts outlet (yes, of course, when you have a teenage daughter, FBT shorts is a must). Don't ask me where this outlet is ok. We only know how to get there and it took us a LONG LONG time over 2 days to find it.

He kept asking her questions about this size, that colour, that size, this colour. I still can't get over how gentle her replies were. Although you could see she was agitated with his continuous stream of questions, her voice managed to remain calm and soft.
Alamak! Mike told me and the kids he was mesmerized by her voice. We laughed and laughed at the monosyllabic responses. Regardless of what you asked her, her responses were restricted to 'Nooooo, Yeeeees, Oooookay' (oh wait, I stand corrected. 'Okay' isn't monosyllabic!)
Outside the shop, I tried to copy her and spoke to Mike that way. It lasted all of 45 seconds before I broke out into my usual garang voice. What to do? We were crossing the mad road and I was yelling at him to watch out for a reversing truck!

Cannot tahan lah. Anyway, I bet if she had to deal with a Singapore man everyday, she'd last all of 45 days!

Here's something from my favourite Bangkok roadside vendor.....delicious pandan leave fried mealworms, lightly sprinkled in salt! Yummy! Unfortunately, we could only get our hands on a limited no. of packets......
