Seven people you meet in Thailand?(ironically there are tshirts that say ood guys go to heavenad guys go to pattaya)


 


Is it pathetic to go out for the occasional drink alone? Is traveling alone pathetic?Everyone I meet seems to question how lonely it must be to adventure alone, or lack of adventure alone.From all the  so jealous?comments, I would suppose that my solo journey are kind of cool and from that same logic, it would then negate the pathetic aspect of getting inebriated alone.


One and Two: The biggest part missing from my weekly routine (ironic ehh?) is not going out to see much of the night life. So on my last night in Bangkok, I decided to keep it simple and just head to the lounge in the residence, 87 remix.Other than my usual banter with bartenders as it seems to be my forte, I befriended a fellow Indian. Sunil please read. These bandana wearing wannabe hip-hopsters are literally unavoidable second only to those in the country where they sleep on top of each other due to the population crisis.Sunny is an Indian born in Thailand who can barely speak any Indian dialect but speaks fluent Thai and English.Very interesting.Apparently, I was also talking to the DJ of the club. Midway into the conversation, sunny had to leave me hanging to mix up the bumping hip hop bhangra.


While he left me alone, it left a perfect open seat opportunity for one skinny frail looking Thai female to plop her bony frame into the stool beside me.For the record, I have no interest in whores!I can even remember her name. All I know is that I ignored her for the first hour but gawd aren they persistent. Slowly as her chair started inching over and I was working on the 8th Macallan, she introduced herself and luckily the bar was closing. 2 am went home.Phew.


Three and Four:I took a day trip tour offered by the Shangri-La to Ayuthuya on Tuesday.The Conrad is a bit far from the middle of town to find local tour agency and of course they would be recommending their guests a more cr鋗e de la cr鋗e experience, and I got that. Other than enjoying a deluxe yacht cruise with a 5 star buffet on the way back down the river, it was more so the company I was with that reminded me  was a bit out of my league? It quite normal for a Chinese to make small-talk with a fellow Chinaman, but he just turned out to be gay with his gay boyfriend living together in England and here in Thailand for a New Year gay bash. AWESOME.The Chinaman was the more effeminate one, but I ended up speaking more to the other half, a Barbados born-Englishman.Bourgeois as expected and he working for the upper echelon of tour companies, we talked of nothing but communist revolutions, Barbados independence, Kofi Annan, Thai politics and SEA PLANES!(of course I the babble mouth, but yes did contribute my knowledge of seaplanes have been in an amphibian before).


Five: The speedod swiss.They love elastic loin cloths, how can you blamem, I do think the women love it.Unfortunately for me, the one sun bathing next to me by the pool happened to be a blabbermouthed octogenarian~ if not more, with the Austin powers pectoral rug.We chatted about hotels and I recommended him the Ritz-Carlton in Singapore.He moved onto art and I got lost, so I pushed him back into Swiss, Austrian alps and skiing gradually integrating beer and cooking (the train of thought was ski resorts/beer/food).Even with Swiss being a small little regimented anal retentive country along the lines of a Singapore, the great thing about Europeans is you can always talk to them about omen?


Six:Blonde ?Swede ?and my scuba guide. Here the flip side to the spectrum. Phuket has absolutely amazing, and its no surprise to anyone that foreigners end of getting tuck?down there. Seeing sunsets every day, being boats with views of all the islands and beaches gives you nothing to complain about, if youe even actually using your brain to think.Family in Sweden but she hates the cold, so worked in Honduras for a while, lived in new Jersey for a bit, goes home every so often for 2 weeks at a time, but now she in Phuket. The open-aired zephyr mentality is quite refreshing especially when it goes along with huge 4m manta flying around your head underwater.


Seven: European Muay Thai Champ.


Solace manipulation: Ie lost some of the head turning shock upon arriving to foreign nations but still doesn mean the sights aren tight banging son.Here my holiday season, enjoy.


welcome to the kingdom
