A PILGRIM IN THAILAND

A PILGRIM IN THAILAND
Thailand was hot.It' air,its food,wow and it's girls,and its wonderfull insomniac nights .Its everything was hot, everything was cool too.It's noodle soup ,it's teenage scanty wearing girls ,its traffic jam and its tuk-tuk carriage.I just arrived in Bangkok at 28th of November around 4 :00 pm.Its neat airport was so much different to the one I flew from(Imam Khomeini Airport).Now I was in Bangkok International Airport .First of all its style of architecture caught my eyes .It was a cold combination of concrete and steel, and based on Ideas of two of my friends Arash and forouzandeh, who both are Architect, that was a well done job. It was huge , and somehow cold but not Sexy.May be because I compare it to the ambient of Heathrow or even Gatwick .In London's airport you could always see a real sort of life .Something of modern age, a boiling traffic of man which is pressed by a shattering burden of what is outside the building ,but in bangkok I didn't feel such a thing.There was not such a modern feeling though the building was so, and there was not impressing signs of devastating and shatterng pressures of modern life.It was all tourists like the pligrims who just came to attend a relegious convention .It might be a Shopping religion it might be a sightseeing religion or it might be Sex religion.I was there,not as a member of any particular religion but as a wanderer who flies here though and there.Thoughts were passing through my head and I just opened my eyes and saw many Russian tourists around all in different ages .They were young, they were old they were kids and blond girls.All in one queue standing in checking out gate.There were also many chinese people there .Chinese tourists are coming too.Could it be another shock to the modern economy ?China for a long time of 20th century was stunning because of it's huge size of population and its governements secrecy.I Just thought if they could earn enough money to travel around ?So then if they could go and emigrate around ,then they will change the demographic morphology of the world population .It would be the biggest shock in history after Great Industrial Revoloution.And chinese are doing so.They are everywhere and I can't get out of thier sight even in my bathroom or visversa.An anxious young thai woman was checking the passports ,I show her my passport and while filling a form which I had to submit there I found an ambigious question,then I dared and asked her about ,but whether she knew english or not she grumbled and I just resume in my writing.Outside the airport was hot it was 38 C while Tehran when I was leaving that chilly morning of autumn was about -4 C .And it was humid ,though I didn't check humidity .We run to the bus and I took my seat there..........

Greasy Nights

Tourists ,tourists,Chinese ,Chinese,Russians and Russians .That was what you could see in Bangkok airport .I have never seen so many oriental faces in a same time in a same place before that.We got the luggage and raced to the out gates.There, we saw our Thai tour guides, a pettite woman which was smiling as those mechanical smiles you see in EastAsian countenance and two young guys which one of them was muslim and amazingly he could speak persian fluently.We passed the gates out and wow I felt the hot spot and fighting club zone there .The Bangkok for the first time .It seemed that Bangkok like a hot girl tries to show you how energic it is and how she can provoke you to confess her warmth.It was like a dizzy night in august in Kish or in Dubai .And there was a very odd and unexprienced scent of something greasy in the atmosphere .A comtraveler jokingly imputed the scent to the oil which Thais extract from dogs body and use it for cooking.Though it was not true .But I could imagine it was something related to the Thai cuisine although I don't know exactly what it was .All Iranian tourists got on the bus then we left the airport to the Hotel .After more than half an hour we reached the hotel which was a tall and 40 some tier sky-scraper in the heart of Bangkok.After check-in we got the keys .It was a mediocre Hotel and there were plenty of Russians around specially in the lifts.I was obsessively tempted to strat a conversation with young Russian girls but I didn't dare.I don't know why.We entered the room .My roomate was a guy from Tehran whom I urged him to join the Thai Travel .
