Welcome to Bangkok

OK, so the first day we got the obligatory Thai Massage (not the happy ending kind) the "crack every bone in your body" kind. 1 hour of pain which translates to floating out of the place on cloud 9. we rested a bit and headed out to the strip for some delicious Thai food and then onto have a few cocktails and Chang beers 1.60 Euro a Pint bottle seemed a good price. The Thai street food is just as amazing as I remember and as you can see from the waterfall running down my face it's still as spicy.


The streets were alive with buskers and performers ranging from girls playing lady gaga on Thai instruments called Khim, to girls dressed as the evil girl from the horror movie "The Ring".



We met a  young couple from Colorado in a bar and had drinks with them while listening to Thai musicians singing classic hits. we got chatting with them as one of them was wearing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles T-Shirt the same one I painted a few weeks prior, so I had to show them, turns out they where huge fans.

Quite a few beers in and the music stopped and a Thai beat boxer came on stage, the street opened up for 6 random Thai's break dancing for our entertainment while a young lad went around collecting tips which we where happy to oblige, "Welcome to Bangkok" were any crazy spontaneous things can happen and we love it for that.
Laid back cat




So far we have renewed our love for Thailand and Thai people, the laid back attitude and their  friendly outgoing ways are like no other country I've visited, sure even the cats are laid back.
