Around our condo

Explored some areas within walking distance of where we are staying. It has been 39 degrees with the humidity, so late afternoon, the last couple of days we chilled in with the AC in the condo. Some cool malls are nearby with high-end stores. One great thing about backpacking is that there is no room to buy stuff. Chinese New Year celebrations are starting soon, so there are some decorations happening in various locations. It is amazing watching the traffic here and even more amazing there aren't more accidents. Crossing the streets is always an adventure. You have to make sure your head is on a swivel. There are quite a few massage parlors around, some with and some without "happy endings" offered. You can tell by how the masseuses dress outside the parlors. Red light districts are also common throughout Thailand. We went to one last night and found a fun bar with live music. Lots of Ladyboys here. Some are really hard to identify.Lue lisää
