高山路 或稱考桑路/考山路
在過去二十年間 逐漸成為歐美背包客 到曼谷的必訪之處
Over the past twenty years, Khaosan Rd. has developed into such a well-known place.
It is considered a must-visit ghetto by backpackers from Western countries.
短短的一條街道上
充斥著平價的旅社
香氣逼人的街頭小吃
販售各樣泰國特色商品的小攤子
On this short street, there are hotels or hostels providing cheap accommodation,
appetizing aroma drifting from food stalls, and street vendors selling Thai handicrafts and souvenir items.
當然還有一間又一間的 酒吧兼餐館
Then of course there is a cluster of bars/diners and pubs.
裏頭放著震耳欲聾的搖滾樂!
Music with strong beat blared!
這裡 真的是個很奇特的地方
This is definately a one-of-a-kind place!
走在凌亂且喧嘩的街道上
可以聽到帶著濃厚泰國腔調的英文 叫賣著各樣商品
Walking down this vibrant, hectic and rather cluttered street,
you can hear heavily accented street vendors advertising their items in English.
手推車的小吃攤販來回穿梭著
Some vendors push their carts around selling local food.
空氣中飄散著泰式小吃的味道
Thai snacks sold at different stalls smell heavenly!
攤販車上 掛著多種熱帶水果
Various types of tropical fruit can be found at fruit trucks.
但是跟一般當地小夜市最大的差異是
在這裡 放眼望去
除了店家或者攤販是泰國本地人之外
擁擠穿梭的人群中
清一色都全是 打扮清涼 腳踏著夾腳拖的 年輕歐美背包客
There is a major difference between Khao San Rd. and other night markets you find in Bangkok.
Here on this street, besides local street vendors, faces you see in the crowd are mainly Caucasians.
Most of them are young backpackers in much less conservative clothes than Thais, such as camis, shorts, and flip-flops.
整條街 形成一種很奇妙的 融合了東西方風情的異國氣氛
You've got this fun and exotic vibe of the west meets the east on this street.
大概這裡大多是 荷爾蒙分泌旺盛 滿腦子想著 要飲酒狂歡的年輕背包客
I guess you can say that hormones in these young backpackers' body is usually raging out of control.
Many of them are looking to drink and party like crazy.
街上還有很多泰國人 拎著廣告牌
不斷地推銷他們那裏有 "very strong"的各種酒類
So on the street, we sawThais holding signs, advertising "very strong" alcohol at their bars!
一開始被阻攔下來推銷時 我們只是微笑搖搖頭
When we were first stopped by one of them, we simply smiled and shook our head.
結果居然還有一個拎著牌子的泰國人
非常用力地 不停地遊說Mr. Ren帶我去他們的酒吧
一邊強調 "Vely strong, Vely vely strong....." (請用濃厚的泰國音調來發音)
還一邊不斷用手 指著我 眨眼睛
意思是說 如果Mr. Ren 對我有甚麼企圖 他們的酒 絕對可以幫他成功地把我灌醉
Then there was this Thai guy persistently trying to talk Mr. Ren into taking me to their bar.
He kept pointing at me and winking toward me, and repeated in his thick Thai accent, "Vely strong, Vely vely strong....."
He was suggesting that if Mr. Ren wanted something to happen, their booze would definately knock me out. Then he could do whatever he wanted to me...........
我在旁邊忍不住放聲大笑
我們真要幹嘛 還需要他把我灌醉嗎? 哈哈哈
(Mr. Ren: 這位太太 這個不需要說出來吧...........)
I couldn't help but bursted into laughter.
If we really wanted to do something, why did he even need to knock me out? Hahahahaha.....
(Mr. Ren: hey lady, no need to be this blunt and outspoken....)
居然還有行動式的 貨幣兌換中心
There was even a mobile currency exchange van.
經過這個玉米攤子 被玉米的香甜氣味吸引
When we walked past this stall selling corn snack, the sweet fragrance of the corn defintely got my attention.
加入糖 鹽 奶油 和牛奶攪拌
The corn kernels are mixed with sugar, salt, butter, and milk.
製作方式很簡單 但是真的很很香很好吃呢
A simple snack, but the smell and the taste was just heavenly!
雖然只是個小小攤販 但是鮮黃色的玉米粒
與容器 還有攤販的圍裙上的各樣顏色 還是搭配得很好看呢
如同之前 【旅遊頻道】隨處可見繽紛艷麗的色彩 曼谷是個充滿活力的城市 文中有提到的
泰國人的顏色搭配能力 真的令人印象深刻
It was just a small vending cart.
But the bright yellow color of the kernels and the pretty colors of the containers, utensils and even the aprons were a great combination.
Just like what I wrote in my previous post, Thai people have this incredible talent of mix and matching colors in such tastful styles.
剛開始逛時 雨就下得不小
但是逛完一圈後 就開始變成傾盆大雨了
剛好今天走走逛逛一整天 腿也痠了
所以我們就找了一間酒吧兼餐廳 進去吃飯
When we first got here, it was raining quite hard already.
But after we had finished looking around, rain started pouring down.
Well, since our legs were quite sore from walking and sightseeing all day,
we picked a bar/restaurant to get some food and stretch our legs.
原本以為 這裡的餐廳 料理為了迎合觀光客口味
應該不會太好吃
We didn't expect the food to be good, since we assumed food here was for tourists.
反正就來吃個氣氛吧
Well, we thought it would be nice just to enjoy the atmosphere.
在這裡真的有種 回到美國的感覺 呵呵
It felt like we were back in the States when we stepped into this place. Haha!
食物上桌囉!
我們點了一份漢堡 和一份泰式蔬菜綠咖哩
原本真的預期 口味會很普通
所以我們也沒急著開動 還在那邊照啊照的
We ordered a hamburger meal and a Thai green curry dish.
Since we didn't assume the food to be impressive, we weren't in a hurry to dig in when the food came.
We just took lots of snaps of this cool and fun restaurant.
漢堡餐 是真的很普通
The hamburger was plain and dull, as expected.
但沒想到 這碗滿滿蔬菜的綠咖哩 真的讓我們大大的驚艷呀
But this green curry turned out to be a big surprise.
各種顏色的新鮮蔬菜 (包含了幾樣不知名但很好吃的泰國蔬菜)
Fresh veggies in varying colors. (Some were unidentified yet tasty Thai vegetables)
綠咖哩醬汁完全地入味
濃郁又香甜 真是好吃的不得了!
The veggies had completely soaked up the wonderful green curry saucce.
It was rich, creamy and sweet. Just sooooooooooo good.
吃了第一口後 就狼吞虎嚥地吃個精光了
所以根本沒有照到這碗咖哩的特寫照
但是這道菜 可以說是我們在泰國這兩個禮拜 印象最深刻的一道菜
到現在還念念不忘啊!
After feeling stunned by its great taste at the first bite, we were so busy gulping down the food.
It never occured to us to take a close-up snap of the dish.
The taste of this dish was the highlight of our food experience during this two week trip in Thailand.
We still keep talking about how good it tasted now.
盤子都舔乾淨了!
看Mr. Ren笑得嘴都合不攏了 吃得大滿足呀!
The plates were licked clean.
See how happy Mr. Ren was with his mouth open like that.
It felt so satisfying.
開心開心!
Happy~~
結帳時 更開心了
吃吃喝喝
總共才325泰銖呀
這在台灣 或洛杉磯 只夠點一道菜吧
We were even happier when the check came.
For a big meal for 2 including the drinks, it was only a 325 Baht check (around ten US dollars.)
This is usually the price of one dish either in Taiwan or in LA.
吃得開心 也買得挺開心的
I didn't just enjoy the food and sightseeing. The shopping on this street was fun too.
這兩雙拖鞋 都各自才不到兩百泰銖
Paid for less than 200Baht for either of these slippers.
上面的花色 都好美呀 而且很耐穿呢
Love the patterns and the colors.
And they really are durable and sturdy.
曼谷市中心的高山路
一條 東西方風情奇異地融合的街道
好吃 好逛 又好買
來曼谷不要錯過了喔!!
Khaosan Rd. in the city center of Bangkok, is a place where the east and the west blend in its own interesting way.
It's a great place for food experience, sightseeing and shopping.
It's a must-visit if you come to Bangkok.
That's it for today!
