thE sOi's oF KhAo SaN

dear jess,

its pretty hilarious, one white aussie, another white, err dutch? a load of helium balloons on backpackers ghetto, Khao San Street sellling them to a bunch of tourist. We sat and watched a wager between two white men to see who could sell off the load of balloons they bought off the thai vendor. What a sight!

We humoured him for a bit but failed to support his effort and we continued to watch the drunks, and all the other colourful people on the street. After a day of touristing to a forensic hospital with stillborn babies, dead bodies, and yes all the other quirky stuff, walking endlessly till 12 midnight, it was a sight worth coming back to.

Ive been thinking about the way i would love to journey my trip for you, but maybe ill let the pictures do the talking later for you and the thoughts suffice for now. To be honest, ive had enough of thai food, my stomach is disturbed, and apparently even my cynical half's too, whos already back in melbourne.

No more pad thai's and people telling me all the 'must see's' in thailand, please. Im happy with preserved dead bodies, and all the other things that most 'pad-thai-ers,' 'massager-ers' and 'tom-yam-ers' have yet to see. Yes, maybe ive been here too long. I think id like to go back to the beaches now...

ps. this tan isnt fading off anytime soon, and neither is the rumblings of my very upset stomach..

yours rushing to the loo,
jess
