Chinatown and Somboon
Bangkok's Chinatown looks like SF's Chinatown only much bigger and even more congested. Sometimes the sidewalks are so packed it is faster to walk on the street, but then cars are double parked, so it is a traffic nightmare. Below are some shots of the streets. Make sure you scroll to the bottom to see some pictures of our meal at Somboon Seafood Restaurant.

 
Somboon Seafood Restaurant
These pictures are for Betty who requested pictures of food. We took the Skytrain to his restaurant and had six delicious dishes. We neglected to photograph two of the river prawn dishes. One was HUGE grilled river prawns and the other was steamed river prawns. We guess we will have to go back so we can show them to Betty! We got so into the food that we totally forgot to snap the pictures. The meal was delicious. The restaurant's specialty is curried crab and it was even better than I remembered it. The other dishes: scallops with asparagus and black mushrooms, fried morning glory and spicy whole fish.
