Bangkok Top 10
So far I have:
- Managed to get through customs without the need for gloves or an unhealthy interest in the contents of my bag
- Have avoided a group of scammers who took a like to my eBay man-bag and circled me in some sort of pincer movement. Luckily I managed to side step them and their evil plan to take over the contents on my bag (and the world) and retreated towards the air conditioned safety of a 7-11 where you can depressingly buy Heat magazine.
- Have eaten watermelon, pineapple and mango in the street. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier...
- Seen lots of golden buddhas and one particularly massive one who was having a rest.
- Had one gun pointed at me by a Thai Soldier who disliked my attempt to enter a closed garden.
- Had a thai foot massage. The lady genuinely seemed impressed at my size 11s as she tickled the hairs on my big toe. It currently feels though like I have no feet - which is kinda odd as walking up the Kho San Road barefoot is strangely not one of the top 10 tips in the trusty (albeit photocopied) Lonely Planet.
- Have ridden in the Tuk Tuks without losing any limbs.
- Have sunk 3 Singha beers and then wobbled.
- Have been chatted up by a gay waiter and asked to comment on his 38 inch widescreen TV.
- Have taken an imodium instead of a malaria tablet. I am currently unable to shit mosquitos.
