An Oasis in Bangkok

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Have you ever juiced enough pomegranates to make a full cup of juice? Or have you slaved away in front of a juice press with a couple dozen tangerines with the hope of enough juice to quench your thirst after the extensive juicing workout? If you are like us, you’ve probably done it a couple times and decided NEVER AGAIN! For all you Steemians out there who are headed to Bangkok, there are fresh squeezed juice hawker stands scattered throughout the city!

After braving the BTS (train system) and making your way around town on foot amidst the impressive heat of Bangkok, the bottled street juice stands are like an oasis within this concrete jungle. The pomegranate juice has that perfect balance of sweet and tart, and the tangerine juice is silky, semi sweet, and usually served at that perfect temperature just before freezing. At around 35 baht per bottle (about $1USD) the fresh squeezed bottles of juice are a lifesaver, and the men and women who press all that juice daily are my heros.
