Grand Day Out With The Boat

Nice ride out in the morning with the boat to Wat Pho, a lot more people going back.

I spend a big part of the day in the alleys behind the fish market , in what feels like the setting of a Wong Kar Wai movie.

People are curiously absent : I get glimpses of humans, cats and dogs streched out on mats panting in the mid day heat. Finally I come up to two active elderly women , one with curlers fresh in place. I ask for a haircut. The project is met with frank disbelief at first : "Are you sure ??"

Lunch : papaya salad with lime , nuts and more. Pomegranate juice.
