Our last day in Bangkok. Both the girls are laid up in the hotel room sick today.
I set out on another trek afoot thru the city, this time to find an extra suitcase to cart home all our souvenirs and booty in.
This will be my last trip down Kraisi Street.
I have to stop for one last Pad Thai from one of the street vendors.
I have her "super size it" for an extra 10 for a total of 40 bhat (about $1.31).
I cringe as she scoops the raw chicken from a plastic bag just behind her on the hood of a car, but she tosses it into a vat of boiling water. Meh, okay... I eat it anyway: that's how much I love Pad Thai.
To (hopefully) counteract the lack of sanitation I add a generous portion of Prig Bpon (chili pepper), a splash of oyster sauce, and a smidgeon of Farang dust (sugar). Funny thing is: When planning this trip I pictured myself eating Pad Thai for every meal and it being available on every corner. Turns out Thai people don't really eat the stuff and it's usually only found in the really touristy areas catering to the Farang (foreigners).

| Mmmm. So good. Gonna miss this. |
I hope I have more intestinal fortitude than the girls... (so far so good, knock on wood).
Maybe having it with a large Leo will help...
We leave for the airport at noon tomorrow. I hope the girls are ready to fly by then.
It's been a great trip so far, minus the recent digestive developments.
I think it's safe to say we are ready to come home.
