Scouring the back streets of Chinatown

Today is a Chinese ghost festival. Thai-Chinese people will pay respect to their ancestors and non-relative ghosts. They believe today the hell gate will be opened. Then it is a good time to experience this festival. We will explore the heart of Chinatown and finish at Little India, in front of the Hollywood of Thailand in the 60s. Along the way we can expect to visit the Prostitution temple (actual name), a fortune teller (optional), the crocodile temple, the Buddha's Shadow, the city's best street Phad Thai, a weird facial treatment (optional), lovely local markets with the most 'interesting' selection of Chinese snacks, and a selection of local delicacies and refreshments (optional). Chinatown is simply an explosion of the senses!! This a a recurring event. Total distance will be about 3.5km, so it will probably finish in less than 3.5 hours. If it looks like sunny on that day, don't forget to bring the necessary clothing and/or attributes (cap, umbrella, ...). Please bring 300 THB for your tour guide. The refreshments along the route can be paid individually, as you see fit (some people might not wish to sample all of them, even though they are really delicious). And ... as with every other previous walk, we would like to ask to PLEASE leave home on time. When that should be, depends on where you live, but unless you live nearby, we suggest leaving AT LEAST an hour beforehand. The guide can wait for 5 minutes but then the group will leave. Also, kindly RSVP no later than 7pm the day before.
