stumonster Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Even a good dose of rainwater does not seem to clean the drains in thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff1 Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I had to go with the raw meat in the humid heat . NOTHING is worse than seeing that with all the fly's sucking on a big slab of , whatever . make's my skin crawl . Some of the drains are rather nasty but I hold my nose and run quickly . What I find disturbing is that someone will set up a food stall right over it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appleman_thai Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 deep fried insects............they stink for miles and make me wretch every time.

lamphun Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Drains in the durian season. What happened to Bill Clintons dress. Has it been sent to the cleaners ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocky Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 What happened to Bill Clintons dress. Has it been sent to the cleaners ? What did you expect! It's probably being torn to shreds by all those overly earnest students in the Bear Pit right now. I like the smell of Durian, one of the few smells that masks the smell of the drains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoAjarn Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 got to be the raw meat, although i was in cambodia last week and i was surrounded by backpackers, that certainly brought back memories of bkk drains, wot i dont understand is how these backpackers cant find room for basics like soap and shampoo in their massive rucksacks they carry around, and the idiot backpacker that was next to me at the immigration, if u cant spell kao san rd as ur next destination and have to scream it out to everybody, just put in "bkk" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igotworms Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 The poop and the garbage running through the drains has no match. Splattered Soi Dog is ###### near close though. Worst smelling town: Hatyai. Open drainage baby. Just thought of another wretched smell: the 20 year old frying pan oil bubbling in various vendor's mobile cooking carts....that stuff has the capacity to level 5 square blocks....instant gag factor. Take a walk through the alley/soi across from Lee Gardens Shopping Center in Hat Yai. The first cart on the right brings instant tears to my eyes.

RDN Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I think the worst vapour - not "smell", as it is often odourless - is the vapour that comes from some stalls (noticeably Sukhumvit Road, bkk) that is simply very hot cooking oil with chilli. You can't breath, it stings your eyes, and makes you choke. If you cough and breath in, you are done for! I'd rather have an open drain than that mixture.

otherstuff1957 Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 This isn't really a bad smell - but if anyone wants to be peppersprayed, ust swing by my apartment around dinnertime when my wife throws those chilis into the wok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
