Chapter 122: Thai Night Markets and Thai Bars
There are all kinds of clothes and souvenirs sold on the roadside, of course, there are horses and chickens, and the people who sell barbecue, beer, and ice cream on the roadside are also making money, and the business is really very good, because there are many people, and the popularity is strong, and there are people, there is business to do, which is what the stall owner of Khao San Road told Zhou Sen.
Shop for second-hand goods or find a place to sit down for a drink or two at Thailand's night markets, some of which sell vintage items such as vinyl records, illustrations, and even vintage cameras and phones.
Patpong Night Market is very popular because it is very close to the city center, many of them are idle tourists, it is full of all kinds of counterfeit brands, what watches, clothing, sneakers are counterfeit, although they are counterfeit, but the style is still very good-looking, Thais also know how to cater to those who are not too expensive, want to come to the night market to find some bargains.
The riverside night market is integrated with the mall, the streets are clean and spacious, the river breeze is gusting, there are all kinds of vintage props to take pictures of, and there are plenty of boutiques selling souvenirs, handicrafts, jewellery and clothing, and things here are usually slightly more expensive than other night markets. So visiting the night market is also very particular, Teacher Ding told Zhou Sen, visiting the night market can not be too anxious, can not see a thing in a hurry to buy, visit the night market to see more, shop around, more comparison, only comparison, only comparison, can know which thing is good, the price is not cheap, good quality and low price, has always been the pursuit of Chinese, Chinese are very smart, will bargain with stall owners, always find something Chinese tourists want to buy at a relatively cheap price, buy something from Thailand as a souvenir, go to the attractions to take pictures, keep as a souvenir, after returning to China to turn it out for relatives and friends to see, also feel very happy。
"Yes, when you go abroad, you always want to buy something and take it back as a souvenir, and I will take you to visit the plane night market. ”
Mr. Ding took Zhou Sen all the way around, visited a lot of night markets, Thailand's night markets are also very lively, Zhou Sen found that there are a lot of people in these night markets, very popular, and there are fewer people who go to the mall to shop, because of the high price of the mall, so that customers just look, but discouraged, unless the mall is engaged in activities, discounts, will buy some.
The most eye-catching thing here is the plane in the square, the huge shape of the plane, very eye-catching, and ingenious, when you get here, you will also be impressed by all kinds of strange works of art, it is said that the concept behind this night market is "nothing is useless" Even some small things can be done well, some dolls, made very cute, attract girls to buy, and there are many other types of goods, all of which are very practical daily necessities and tourist souvenirs, this night market has pushed Bangkok's night market to new heights.
Teacher Ding took Zhou Sen to Bangkok's Cowboy Street again, and while the two walked, Teacher Ding introduced Zhou Sen to him.
Bangkok's Cowboy Street was named in the early '70s when an African-American cowboy wearing a hat established its first bar here.
It's more casual and frantic than Patpong or Nana Square, and the colourful streetscape is most often seen with middle-aged expatriates, Japanese and Western tourists, and of course, plenty of sexyly dressed and glamorous women.
The sound of such greetings is endless, and Thai women can also speak English and French, and there are more than 20 such bars.
Cowboy Street is located next to Terminal 21, a very lively shopping mall, and it is also very convenient for shopping, just across the road, on foot, no need to take a taxi, and customers often gather here to party, which is a popular place for young people.
The lights are full of wine and drums, and the seats are usually arranged in a stepped pattern around the central stage illuminated with ultraviolet light, and visitors can sit on the high stools next to the stage if they want to see the central position.
Of course, there are also very famous ladyboy performances in Thailand, which has been familiar to Chinese tourists, and there are many Chinese tourists who come to travel and take pictures with ladyboys, commemorating, those who are in good shape, even more delicate than girls' skin, delicate faces, and fashionable dressing, which is a characteristic of Thailand, which is very rare in other countries.
However, first-time visitors prefer to sit in the back, and the girls in miniskirts and hot clothes are constantly dancing on the stage, which is really annoying to watch.
Bars in Thailand usually close at 2:30 a.m., but many of them stay open until 3:00 a.m. because of the booming business and the number of tourists who come here to watch the shows.
Especially on weekends, it's packed and busy, especially in the most popular bars.
Mr. Ding told Zhou Sen that Cowboy Street is an open and honest place, and there is no such thing as being deceived, and tourists can only sit down and order a drink, which usually costs 100 to 150 baht, which is quite affordable.
However, bars of the Sahara and Kiss levels can cost as much as 180 baht for a drink, which is a bit embarrassing, and the more expensive bars are more expensive to attract mid-income or higher-spending tourists.
If you want to make new friends, it is a good choice to invite her to drink, not to mention that the price is not very expensive, if you are in a good mood, you can also ask for a few more drinks, so that your mood will be better, if you choose to sit near the stage, you can also tip like in Europe and the United States, the waiter will pay more attention to you when he gets the tip, and the service will be better.
In Thailand, when it is late at night, when the most popular bars are busy, many people do not want to sleep late at night, especially young people, and because of their popularity, they are overcrowded early.
Teacher Ding said that generally friends who like to drink will meet at the bar, like us Sven people rarely go to the bar, and most of the friends go to the café, if you don't go to the right time, you may not be able to find friends to drink together, and even sometimes even the seat is very scarce.
Mr. Ding told him that the bar has recently been renovated, it is very bright and clean, and there is even a non-smoking area upstairs, which is a big improvement.
But at the same time, the girls dancing on the center stage are a little troublesome, they are huddled together, there is little room to move, they stand there stunned, as if waiting for good luck to come, they are all poor girls, forced to do this business, each with its own difficulties.
The three-tiered sofas in the interior will also make people feel more comfortable, and the upstairs rooms are almost fully booked, all of them are here for fun, and there are many people who are willing to spend money, which is also more interesting, and it is also a smoking area.
Baccara is very popular with Japanese customers, so the cost here is also high.
