So a hot dog, some eyeballs, and a duck walk into a bar....





Today was spent driving all over Bangkok in search of foods and festivities. What turned up was a floating market attached to a Wat (temple) and cuisine that focuses more on what I intend to share with you all. For starters, I had a hot "hot dog" made of miscellaneous seafood, topped with cucumber, tomatoes and mystery, red, sweet, ketchup like sauce, complete with squid and chili Lays, mmmmm.

After a sumptuous walk through the market, I came across a cheap and delicious treat, grilled duck tongue and trachea, served on the half-bill.
(video below)


After that it was onto the floating restaurant, where I was served entire deep-fried fish, the eyes being the main course.

Upon leaving, one of those traveling with me (Eric) asked for his 7up to go; they obliged by pouring it into a bag full of ice, smiled, and gave him a straw.

Tomorrow we leave for Kanchanaburi (there is no standardized thai romanization by the way) and we will hike to here, and get to pet real life tigers here!!
