 INTRODUCCION
We managed to understand the importance of having beaches within our territory,
which means that many national and international tourists have the joy of visiting
us.
1.3 DO EXERCISE 14 “TALKING ABOUT SUPERTITIONS” IN MODULE 1. 2
Today there is still a superstition that the black cat is related to luck. In fact, in our
country, as well as in the rest of Continental Europe and the United States, coming
across a black cat is seen as a bad sign. However, in Great Britain it is
synonymous with good luck. It is obvious that this superstition depends a lot on
each one, but it is true that there are many people who believe in the unfortunate
fame that accompanies the black cat.
Without going any further, they say that the owner of a restaurant south of Naples
when he was returning home in the middle of the night saw a black cat cross the
road in front of his car. He immediately parked at the side of the road since he did
not want to continue unless the cat returned to undo the bad luck. Shortly after, the
police arrived and asked him what he was parked there at that time of night. When
he explained his reasons, he and the agents were carried away by superstition and
waited for the cat to return.

Grand Palace, Chinatown's Pak Khlong flower market, Wat Phra Kaew, the latter
located in the grounds of the Royal Palace and considered the most important
Buddhist temple in Thailand.
▪ What is the fastest way to get around in Bangkok?
The BTS or Bangkok skytrain is an elevated train similar to the subway that we
know, it works from 6 in the morning to 12 at night, and its price ranges from 16 to
59 bahts, the skytrain ticket is bought with coins in the automatic machines of the
stations (very easy to use, although in English and Thai), where you only have to
indicate your destination point. Depending on your final stop, the fee varies, the
machine will give you a magnetic card with which you enter, and that you have to
keep until the end of the journey, to put it back into the exit turnstiles.

▪ Where can you find the best Chinese and Thai restaurants and food stands
in Bangkok?
One Upon a Time: Located in the Siam area, this restaurant is an authentic
spectacle in which its hall stands out in an incredible garden in the middle of the
city, surrounded by mango trees and orchids, we ordered a massadam curry and
pad thai plus beer and soft drink for 940THB
May Kaidee Tanao: Very close to the famous Khao San Road is this vegetarian
place, very famous in the city, for its quality and for giving cooking classes. We
ordered an apple pay for THB90, pineapple fried rice for THB80 and as a starter a
vegetable tempura, plus a coconut and lime juice for THB410.
Suki Jeh Ru Yi: Very close to Hua Lumphoeng station and Bangkok's Chinatown
is this traditional Thai vegetarian restaurant where you will probably only find local
people eating. There is a wide variety of dishes that imitate both meat and fish, as
well as countless varieties of curries. Prices are about THB50-80 per dish and you
get free tea with meals.
