The bathtub at the hotel looked cool at first, but it became a pain to get in/out on a regular basis.

Pretty cool that they offer a variety of newspapers.

By the way, plates with red background mean new cars.

I think this was a small P-car gathering.

Prices of cars there. They have the same chassis's as we do, but the numbers are lower because they get taxed A LOT more if the engine is bigger than acertain size. Already crazy prices as is. Divide the prices by 33 to get USD prices. If you can afford a new car there, ANY new car..you're doing prettywell.

We went to the beach and stayed at individual rooms shaped like mushrooms. Pretty cool and also got access to part of the beach that's private.

I didn't plan on exercising at all, but I couldn't resist running with such a great backdrop. I didn't have the proper gear so I ran in my regularclothes and yes, Crocs.

I got identical cuts on the toes afterward too. This was me giving money to the monks.

My family eats like crazy, but still are small. They would buy me this much junk food daily to keep in the hotel to snack on.

This would be the real low class. No electricity or water. Most are near water so they can wash their clothes and boil the water to drink.

Cars are allowed to park parallel to the road if there are no more spots to park in. Just leave the car in neutral so it can be pushed so you don't blockanyone in.

I go back every 1-2 years to visit my family. No I didn't smash, I was with my family 99% of the time.
laugh.gif
Plus the country has an extremely high rate ofSTD's. I wanted to go see a Muay Thai event, but time didn't permit. I'm getting used to the 14-16 hour plane ride now.

They didn't have a price tag at the show room, it just says 'inquire for moreinfo'. New Murci's are 35,000,000 bahts or a little over a million USD.

I was in Thailand for 2 weeks.

My mom is planning the next trip now. If I don't get a job by next summer, I think we will go to Thailand then London then Japan, and back to Thailand.

Food there are incredibly affordable. A meal at a good restaurant runs what you would pay in the states for Friday's or something of that nature.

I heard you can pay women to live with you for just 30 bucks a week. they will cook, clean, and treat you like a king.

that is also on my copp list for exotics

how long was the flight though?
It's a nonstop flight from LAX TO BKK, it ranges from 13-17 hours, depending on weather condition and such. It's better now than it was10 years ago since each passenger has their own TV screen to play games, watch movies, etc. I think I caught about 5 movies from the plane rides.
laugh.gif


Once I took a flight that made a stop in Osaka, japan, and the whole thing took almost 24 hours.
 
Im on my way there also, should be there within the next 3 weeks. Im gonna be there for close to 2 years.

thanks for the pictures I was curious to see what the city was like.
