BANGKOK CHIC

There are not that many Porsches or Ferraris on Bangkok streets, but I am told one will see them on weekends, on the highways. That said, I have seen a few cool machines around town, mostly around the up-market zones, such as this one ... a Kawasaki Ninja in Old Granny Apple green. Smashing! I was having a solidary long-black after school at the newly opened Dean & Deluca next to Chong Nonsi Station. Looking out into green foliage and outdoors sculpture my moment of serenity was shattered by this roar and declutching of gears. A cool looking couple rode off in helmets, tight jeans, and of course the regulation Ray Ban tear drop shades. 'Man ... that is style for you' I told myself, something I can never do even if I try. In they came and ordered large ice coffees and sandwiches. Amazingly they did not exchange a word, the passenger was on the phone that entire time, the driver was working on his I-Phone non-stop. The coffees were sipped but the sandwiches untouched. No more than 30-minutes later the key was in, the starter on, the engine roared again, and off they dashed. Bangkok chic perhaps? My question for them is, what happened to those sandwiches?
