Thailand February Trip Notes

February Thailand Trip

I was walking past the massage place and I saw a kid peeing in the gutter. Totally naked like 4 year old kid.

There are wild dogs here like crazy.

I ate shrimp heads.

There is a high suicide rate here. I'll have to look into why.

Girls here really like to show off their boobs. There are a lot of old ugly men here with really beautiful Thai women. I noticed that in the airport and then when I went to the Grand Palace I saw several hundred year old painted murals of stories of wars and history and all the women had their breasts showing and the men had really ugly faces.

When you go to Thailand, don't wear flip flops at the temples, always bring water with you EVERYWHERE because it's always hot.

There are really beautiful clouds here.

At wat pho there was this really cute white puppy running around. I sat and watched and noticed that people from all over the world were all doing the same thing as me. I think the world needs to find its white puppy. There were university students all in uniforms of white tops and navy blue bottoms giving oral presentations to each other.

I rode in a Tuk Tuk (motorcycle taxi) and I almost choked from how bad the pollution around me was. So many nasty vehicles spitting out black smoke.

I found out Gift has all sorts of CDs that she's put out. She's a famous singer in Thailand!

There are scooter taxis everywhere. They are just scooters and you sit on the back and then drive off! Kinda dangerous!

When Thai's are on the phone, it constantly sounds like they are about to hang up.

When Gift and I would get gas for her car, the gas station attendants would give her a bottle of water.

When I was in a club with Jezzy, I went to the bathroom. As I was at the urinal a guy came up behind me and started to give me a massage. I just about flipped out then I saw him go to another guy who let him massage him. I realized it is a service here. Wow. Not one I want to participate in.

I had to use my sunglasses as a mirror to shave.

I met some famous singers and models at some parties and my favorite thing to do was to walk up them and say "Are you famous?" ha ha. It got a good reaction out of them. I met Lydia, then the next morning I saw her music video on MTV asia. She told me about how she many alleged she was former prime minister Thaksin's mistress. I also met a guy named Roger who is one of Gift's friends who does movies. He just did a documentary about the first Thai expedition to Mt. Everest.

Many restaurants cut their napkins in half, I'm guessing to save on volume?

Turn on the tv here and all english programming has soccer, rugby, horse jumping and horse polo and motorcycle racing and badminton. Badminton is faster than tennis! It's fast! And the girls are NOT cute! Where is beach volleyball when you need it?
