Thai Exposure

Music and Laughter

Spices and colours

Emanate through the walls

Enticing us into the market place.

A plethora of sights and sounds

Attack the senses,

but lovingly, gently,

Like love at first sight

With chicken satay piled high

Pad thai noodles topped up

The crowds congregate

Favourites are chosen.

Shocked faces of young and old

Stare at the giant Europeans

Likenesses stolen

Strangers in their midst.

An experience never forgotten

Kindness bestowed

Thank yous returned

Our mind exposed.
