A Walk to the Hotel in Bangkok

After work I walk back to the hotel in Bangkok as long as it isn’t raining. I try to walk to the office also, but most mornings it has been raining and they have someone pick me up from the hotel.

The walk is only about 800 meters just down the street. I walk by buildings on my right and traffic coming my way on the left.

I pass an old Tuk Tuk as I make my way down the street. It is always there, so either is not in service at that time, or is just not used.

Just past the Tuk Tuk is a fish restaurant that has some big tanks of sea food out front. It is interesting to watch them capture the different fish and seafood.

I pass by several shrines as I get closer to the hotel.

I know that I am at the hotel when I see the big elephants in front of the hotel. They would look pretty cool in my front yard.

Bangkok Curry Crab

Tonight we had a class diner in Bangkok.

We went and ate at The Original Fried Curry Crab restaurant down the road from the office and across the street from the hotel.

The curry looked really good and was full of large chunks of crab.

The curry was served over rice and was really good. Some of the employees were worried that it might be too spicy. I have only found a few dishes on the trip that have a bit of heat, and definitely not too much. This was no exception.

However, I often eat spicy hot Mexican food, so I am used to it.

Among other dishes was a nice whole fish. I surprised a few people by going for the tastiest part of the fish.  The fish was really good.
