We came to Thailand to fix my "ugly feet". And while medical tourism is a growing sector of the economy sex tourism is a much bigger sector. In some areas of town prostitution is very prevalent and public. We walked down Soi Cowboy last night on the way to dinner. Girls stand on the street with numbers to be ordered as if on a menu. Very disturbing. Let me just get this out there, my husband is cheap as a result he has a fondness for dirty smelling countries. Bangkok is both dirty and smelly. If you don't mind that then you may enjoy the rest of what it has to offer.
Fresh Thai specialties are available everywhere from small table where cooks prepare your meal on the sidewalk to fancy sit down restaurants of every cuisine, there is no shortage of food choices.
Another thing that draws people to the Land of Smiles is custom tailored clothes. This afternoon Vinay, a meticulous Indian man who has been in Thailand for 40 years, interviewed, annotated, and measured me for suits, slacks, and blouses for work. First fitting is tomorrow after a full day of medical appointments. Stay tuned.
