Alright, for those who don't know what this is: it's a 'narghile', 'nargileh', 'sheesha', 'shisha'... or 'chicha'. Pick the one you prefer.

Anyway, this is an oriental tobacco pipe with a long flexible tube connected to a container where the smoke is cooled by passing through water. One of my friends brought himself one from Turkey with an incredible variety of flavored tobaccos: peach, guava, apple, cherry, cappucino, mint, toffee...As the tobacco mixture is smoked, it releases an aroma of caramelizing sugar, similar to that from a cotton candy machine.

I have seen some in Thailand, most of them in oriental restaurants. But I'm just wondering whether it's possible to buy them somewhere?

Go Ban-Mor or Klong-tom area 5 kms far from the Grand Palace...you can find it. but should to ask some thai people go with you.Becouse lots of vender at there not honest..Ask them for Discount coz the price may be down more 50 %.

Good luck man.

Go to an area with a high south asian, arab, or northern african population. My friend picked one up in Saudi Arabia. I've also seen these hookah pipes, essentially, "water bongs" for sale at a Lebanese deli close to where I live.

Hey Ze,... Not sure in bkk but at the end of walking street take a left towards thappraya road. There is a large arabic community there so maybe you have some luck getting hold of one.

Thanks for the afterparty ;-).
