The past 3 days in Thailand have been an interesting assortment of experiences that will be remembered for the rest of my life. To give you all an interesting perspective, here are a few highlights...
- Traveling by foot & longtail boats throughout Bangkok for a day and taking in the plethora of sensory stimulating experiences. (It should be noted here that some of the smells I wish I could forget..)
- Getting absolutely smoked by a six year old Thai girl at Thumb Wrestling after being called out on a 20 Baht wager. (How the hell does a 22 year old guy forfeit to a girl that may have stood 2 inches above my waist???) To top this off, my hand was glistening with some type of Thai sweat/oil that the girl seemed to be amused to have left all over me. Following this I promptly attempted to scrub the skin off of my hand.
- Drinking with a crew of Irish, English, and Canadians. Enough said.
- Staying awake for 44 hours and seeing Khao San road absolutely deserted (I was never aware that this could possibly happen with the exception of mandatory evacuations).
- Going to a Ping Pong show in Papong and being jumped, pickpocketed, and slapped in the face by a 4 foot Mamma San hooker. To keep it short and sweet, violated would be an understatement.
- Eating Grasshoppers, Mealworms, and Hellfire Frog meat. The latter was hotter on the way out if you know what I mean and is one to consider for the record books.
- Watching a Muy Thai Kickboxing match at the Pink Panther. Just cool.
- Sitting on the back of a Thai Police Motorbike...
To be continued...
