108 | / Mesto gde nećete znati dapređeteulicu, gdese vlažnost i buka lepe za vas, mirisi mame, taksisti varaju, ugostitelji muvaju… A vi? Pa vama se čini da ste upravo pali s Marsa. U Bangkoku ćete videti bedu i sjaj, gomile đubreta i plastičnih kesa, baš kao i vredne, gostoprimljive Tajlanđane koji prave najbolju hranu. I nećete moći da prestanete da jedete. Zaboravite na fensi restorane, najbolji ukusi su na ulici, a uz to supristupačni.Mestagdemožeteda jedete i da pijete su pre svega Čajna Taun (širok bulevar hrane koji vrvi od ljudi), ulica Kao San, koja je noću pravi vašar, ili neštomirnija Ram Butri (odišeduhomstarogTajlanda) sa improvizovanim restorančićima.

Ako ste ipak za za luksuzniju varijantu, uvek možete da posetite neki ruftop bar u Silomu ili Sukhumvitu, gde suujedno i veliki tržni centri.Bangkok jegradod, nezvanično, 18miliona ljudi i sve jedostupno. Za šoping je najbolja pijaca Čačučak(izdvojtečetiri satazanju),preporučuje se i pijaca Flouting (na vodi), a za dodir sa kulturom posetite Kraljevsku palatu, hramove Vat Pu, Vat Arun i Zlatna planina, kao i siti. Vožnja brodompo reci ČaoPraja nezaboravno je iskustvo (ako se odlučite za gradsku liniju, savet je da zatvorite usta prilikom vožnje), a ne propustite ni skajtrejn, kao ni neprevaziđeni tuk-tuk. BANGKOK BANGKOK This is a place where you won’t know how to cross the street, where the humidity and noise cling to you, where scents entice, taxi drivers cheat, restaurateurs lure... And you? It seems to you that you’ve just arrived from another planet. In Bangkok you’ll witness misery and splendour, piles of waste and plastic bags, but also the industrious, hospitable Thai people, who make the best food. And you won’t be able to stop eating. Forget about fancy restaurants, the best tastes are on the streets, and they’re also affordable. Places where you can eat and drink are primarily located in China Town (a wide boulevard filled with eateries that’s packed with people), Khao San Street, which turns into a real bazaar each evening, or the somewhatmore tranquil RamButtri Road (exuding the spirit of ancient Thailand), with its improvised mini restaurants. For breakfast try Jok porridge, for lunch Pad Thai, and for dinner a spicy sausage with ginger on a stick. Sweeten up with durian, the sweetest of fruits, with an extremely unpleasant odor. Snack with mango sticky rice and be sure to try the Thai pancake – roti. There are countless possibilities. Nevertheless, Thai people don’t tend to speak English well, so you’ll struggle to negotiate, and struggle with spiciness. There “hot” really burns. If you are nevertheless in favour of a more luxurious alternative, you can always visit a rooftop bar in Silom or Sukhumvit, where there are alsomajor shopping centres. Bangkok is, unofficially, a city of 18 million people, and there everything is available to you. The best destination for shopping is Chatuchak Weekend Market (set aside four hours), while the “Floating Market” is also recommended, and for a touch of culture visit the Grand Palace,Wat Pho Temple, Wat Arun Teple, Golden MountTemple and the Ancient City. A boat trip along the Chao Phraya River is an unforgettable experience (if you opt for the city line, you’re advised to close your mouth during the trip) and also be sure not to miss the Sky Train, as well as the unsurpassed tuk-tuk auto rickshaws. Bangkok je grad kontrasta: modernih nebodera, drevnih hramova i šarenih ulica Bangkok is a city of contrasts: modern skyscrapers, wooden temples and colourful streets
