Today i was eager to hit the local suburbs of Bangkok city again to see and taste more of there locals stick foods and Thai local dishes so i took the taxi boat ride up the river canal and just randomly picked a spot to get off not knowing where or what i was going to find or see but this is what i like doing getting of the beaten tourist track again wish me luck 😊
So let me go back a few steps after i traveled up the river canal looking at all the amazing scenery of the Thai culture the way there houses stood the temples along the river the spectacular amount of bridges across the canal damn my eyes where everywhere , i was enjoying the ride that much that i don't even know how long i was on this taxi boat nor where i was but i made a decision to get of the boat and start exploring by foot.
First thing i see is this piece of amusing graffiti saying "Have a Nice Day" in Thai very welcoming 😊
There are many interesting factors walking along this river canal that runs for miles through the heart of Bangkok city if you really want to see how the local people live and how they go by there daily life , i suggest jump on one of these taxi boats they are cheap as and you will be amazed with the Thai culture you will see along this canal but today i am focusing on street vendors , i will bring more of the life on the canal in another post.
Walking along the pathway of the river canal the pathways are nicely and safely structured or either side of the river canal you will see a mixture of houses , shops and all these alleyways you can duct into.
It was already after 2 pm by the time i had decided to duct into one of these side streets from the river canal and i was feeling rather hungry so i needed to see what was available along this part of town.
Fried banana no give that a miss for now...
Barbecue sausages they certainly looked appealing...but i needed something more appetizing...
Seafood spicy salads or Seafood Omelette love them but i will walk on see what else is interesting...
Soups of your choice with chicken , pork , beef or seafood.
Pad Thai chicken , pork or prawns love this dish , decision making again but no have had this dish many of times move on....
The Banana Pancake vendor they are sweet and a very tasty dessert.
The man with all the sweet fruit desserts you can think of mixed with some crushed ice...
Fried fish and fried chicken bits...
The JackFruit vendor cutting it up freshly in front of you i love this fruit it has a smooth crunchiness and taste like a mix of pineapple and passionfruit all in one.
Sweet biscuits , candy and sweet assorted nuts...
Fresh fruit and veggies are always available anywhere in every corner of Thailand no need to be racing off to a supermarket if you need a knob of garlic or a couple of hot chilies they are there just outside your front door....
I always love looking at there types of veggies like just been picked freshly out of there backyard...
The show of there fruits are always mouth watering....
You always need to have the vendor amongst all the vendors selling the Buddha flowers and the offerings that go with it when you visit the temple to offer to the Monks....
Ice coffee vendors i love there chilled coffees...
This street food vendor will cook you the best of the best of Thai dishes and no dish we be over $3 US with a cool drink.
These other eat in street restaurants are just overwhelming in the variety of Thai dishes they provide for eat in or take away , is where i ended up having my spicy seafood shells and veggie dishes for less then $10 US a three course meal and a cold beer included was just the best home cooked meals.
A day well spent amongst the Thai street vendors and a nice full belly going home feeling all content...
