EBangkok, mina nabangane bami sabaleka kusihlwa. Lapho ngishiya isikhumulo sezindiza sesikhumulo sezindiza, ngishaye umoya omanzi, onuka ngokunuka. Ungafika ehostela uye esitimeleni (kulula kakhulu futhi ukhululekile, njengoba kwenzeka kamuva) noma ngetekisi. Ngokushesha kufanelekile ukusho ukuthi itekisi kufanele ithathe emakhesini ukusuka esikhumulweni sezindiza esivela esikhumulweni sezindiza, hhayi ngaphakathi kwe-terminal (lapho kuzokubiza khona amakhulu ama-bat abiza kakhulu). Ihostela lethu lalitholakala endaweni ye-Lymplini emigwaqweni emincane, ezungezwe yimisele lapho kuhlala khona uThais ompofu. Lapha nalaphaya ekhaleni lishaye iphunga lezinhlanzi kanye nokudla kwasolwandle (esijwayele ngakusasa). Abantu babehlalwa kakhulu yizinto zabo futhi asibonanga mamatheka lapha. Kepha umuntu ofile othile wakhunjulwa, wathunga emshinini wokuthunga eceleni komgwaqo, kusihlwa ngashesha wantanta, embozwe ngekhadibhodi. Wayehlala emakhazimula lapho sibuya kusukela ekuhambeni kusihlwa. Ama-skyscrapers amakhulu namahhotela amahle anemithombo, izindawo zokudlela ezinuka ngezimbali zakhiwe kakhulu ebusuku. Kunamathileyi amaningi anemikhiqizo emigwaqweni, izitsha ziyalungiswa: inkukhu ethosiwe, amasobho okudla kwasolwandle, ama-noodle ... ngokujwayelekile, kufanele ukwesaba ukuthenga ama-noodle noma umvimba oshisayo emgwaqweni (akulungele Kumnandi kakhulu!). Qiniseka ukuthi uzama ubisi lukakhukhunathi luqonde kusuka kakhukhunathi! Ekuseni, saya ukubheka i-Lympini Park, lapho izihlahla zesundu ezixakile zikhula khona, futhi ama-varanians abukhali afudumele echibini. Futhi kusihlwa, izimakethe zikaBangkok zahlasela nokuthi wonke umuntu uhweba ngawo yonke indawo! Noisy, onomhlaseli, lapha ungathenga konke. I-Thais iyaphendula kakhulu, isizwe nguMkhandlu, iphakamise umgwaqo. Kepha kufanelekile ukulalelisisa lapho i-scooter idlula edlula wena (ngazama ukuphula isikhwama ehlombe). Ukunyakaza edolobheni, kufanelekile ukusho, ukuhlanya! Ngaphezu kwawo wonke la ma-gamas, athule athule we-wat pho kanye noWat Phra Keo kanye nesigodlo sasebukhosini esihle. Lapho ubabukela ukuze bavakashele, ungakhohlwa ukugqoka izicathulo ezivaliwe, ibhulukwe / i-jean / isiketi eside kanye namahlombe asondelene namahlombe. Ama-Monastic (ithikithi le-100 bat) kufanelekile ukuvakashela ukuvalwa, khona-ke abukho abantu abaningi kanye namasonto eSunset Mose Mosaic naseGolide kanye nokudlala upende ongajwayelekile. Uma ufuna kolunye ugu, lapho i-Wat Arun Arun (Dawn Temple) itholakala, ngikucebisa ukuthi ufike ku-pier ngqo wat pho (ukuwela ama-baht ama-3 bese uthatha imizuzu emithathu). Ukhuphuka emapulatifomu okubona ethempelini ku-Sheer, empeleni, izitebhisi zingabonakala kuwe zisinda ngandlela thile, kodwa kufanelekile. Kunombono omangalisayo we-bangkok ngeziteshi, izikebhe ezihlaselayo, izimakethe, ama-monolithic skyscrapers namathempeli amahle.
