First Days In Thailand


New Years in Singapore and now Im in Bangkok! A sigh of relief. It feels so good to be here. A trip to europe feels too close to home. Sick of western culture, im now finally somewhere where I feel like Im experiencing somthing new and exciting. Somthing to write home about. Its crazy here. A good crazy.Ive been here for a couple days, and seen so much. Just visually, this place is so awesome and intriguing. Every corner is different.
Im walking down the street in the middle of the night, street salesmen offering "hot sexy girls", Offering TukTuk rides, Offering "the pingpong show".Two Transvestites walk by, I turn to the left, and I see a guy riding an elephant out of an alley and into traffic as cars zip past him. Walk into another bar, the Thai Elvis impersonator sings heartbreak hotel as old 45 year old, white male tourists bob their heads to the music with their 22 yearold thai girlfriends at their sides.
A boatride up the river. A giant Golden Buddah. A beautiful sunset. An annoying amercan girl that wont shut up. A two dollar dinner. An 85 degree day and A muay thai boxing match.... awesome. And I still have three more weeks in Thailand. Now to find that hut on the beach that I can play guitar in all day.
