| Description |
Just off Khao San Rd is this Shell gas station that after 6pm gets turned into a bar. We spent a fun and crazy night there drinking Thai herbal whiskey and learning magic tricks from the young candy stripers selling mints and gum (at midnight on a school night...). It was one of the very memorable juxtapositions of the good and fun times of being a tourist with the heart-wrenching reality of the street urban poor. The two girls who charmed us with their tricks were no more than 11 or 12, bright and full of life. They deserved a future. Plots were hatched to kidnap and adopt them, but it was not to be and they left, happy at least for the brief respite and fun we provided away from their long toils wandering the crowded streets for selling tiny things for pennies. |
