Stress in Bangkok

When I am eating, I am on holiday. When I am sleeping, I am on holiday. When I am in the toilet, I am on holiday. When I am smoking, I am on holiday. Whenever I am not on my computer I tell myself I AM ON HOLIDAY. I am on holiday because I am in Thailand, away from Singapore. So anytime when I am not working, I am on holiday. These are the things I tell myself to prevent going crazy. I am stressed from work. Too much work.





Past Saturday, me and gig was looking for a place for dinner. We wanted to have seafood by the shores of Bangkok and so we drove south. We stumbled upon undiscovered territory. This area of Bangkok has elevation profile so low that when the tide gets high, water is everywhere.







Saw factory outlet, therefore shopping time. I liked this place. Bad business, no noisy crowd. Peace and quiet.





Stumbled upon boat ride without knowing where it is going, except that it says Bangkok shores tour or something. This place, no tourist knows because it is nestled in the neglected areas of Bangkok.



Boat transverse the marsh waters of Bangkok in the network of farms. It reached the open seas where the boatman said that on occasions, they get to see dolphins. There right at the edge of the water, stood a restaurant. And the boat is the only method of transport to get there.





So we dined by the sea, the sea wind marinating the food, drinks and my big fat body. It was a short period to rest my mind, detached from work. I call it holiday.
