Plentiful

Bangkok may be infamous for her horrendous traffic, soul-killing pollutions and all that, and in the process coming across as a city where healthy lifestyle is impossible. Here we will kindly rebutt that.

Despite all of her flaws, this exciting metropolis is blessed w/a lot of features that alllow for good health. Let us elaborate one that almost single-handedly forms well-being - good food.

Good in our book means nutritious and affordable. This "sinful" city can feed you w/ fruits, veggie, and herbs all year round. Mango, Pine Apple, Water Melon, Magosteen, Banana, Bok Choy, Clauliflower, Asparagus, Mushroom, Basil, Chilli, Peppers, Lemongrass. You name some of them and this city will find you all of them. It is just non-stop. From high-end supermarkets to extremely reasonable vendors on the streets, it is all clear we will never be denied of what we badly need.


Most recommended at this hour is juice from young coconut. Pls do not confuse it w/ coconut milk which should be avoided. An Indian naturopath has successfully used young coconut juice to stop death at an AIDS orphanage here in Bangkok. Yes, it's that good!

Price range: 40 Baht at Siam Paragon's food court, 35 Baht at Maneeya's, 25 Baht at Central World's, 20 Baht at vendors on various streets but only 10 Baht at the fresh market in our neighborhood. See? Another good reason to stay at BangkokSong.

Cheers,
Randall & Joe
