Бангкок - небоскребы на помойках Bangkok - skyscrapers in the trash

What struck in Bangkok was the abundance of dirt and poverty next to skyscrapers and royal palaces. On the banks of the canals along the rivers, people build huts from 5-6 iron sheets twisted with wire and live in them. They use these canals as toilets and wash dishes there, fish, bathe themselves and bathe children. Long boats float along the canals, some with low sides, various people sit in them and the poverty of Thai and German tourists and spray fly right into their faces. We went to a Chinese tavern, immediately after arrival, I wanted to try the local cuisine. It was suspiciously dirty in appearance, but the German families with children were reassured by gobbling up and drinking drinks from cups. While waiting for the order, we felt a stink and saw boxes with slops 2-3 meters from the tables. They tried a little of the dish and ran away spitting and cursing the Germans. Then we realized that in such cases you need to ask for the opportunity to wash your hands and you will see that in some cases you will be offered an eggplant with water. That is, there is not even running water and sewerage, and all the cups are washed in one bucket. The concept of a sanitary and epidemiological station apparently does not exist at all. Moreover, in all cases, Europeans often sit in such taverns with children, and the Thais themselves gobble up what they give with appetite.
