Re: Thai Smile

Re: Thai Smile
What's that he's smoking? Looks like a cross between a cigarette and cigar to me. Or is it only a pipe? (I am an absolute ignoramus about smoking.)

Re: Thai Smile
Yaa soop (spelling/pronunciation?)-It is a king-size Indian Beedhi-made from cardamom, cloves and other herbs.
You can find them in the markets.

Re: Thai Smile
Strangely enough they do not contain any tobacco-I bought and smoked a couple-I was a smoker then-but I checked-and re-checked the name-"yaa soop" I was told!

Re: Thai Smile
It was wonderful to see that my friend the prawn seller still has a successful business in Mahachai and her smile as infectious as ever
I first met and photographed her in 3 years ago.....
