So many Ideas, So little time, even on Thai Time
food-drink links
Gonna lose me ranking at this rate.
So much travelling around this past week, not seen the desk or the 43 posts I have almost ready to publish. Looking back on them, I thought I had it in the bag for the next few months. Not to be.
Have been to Bangkok twice, Pattaya, and back and only one stop at my favorite stop. Khunsarai! The stop last night was abysmal and most of us stayed on the bus looking out the window and the dingy piles of boxed cakes, dried fruits, dirty fridges and un-smiling staff. Prachuab Khir Khan was the city closest to it and I am praying it is shut down before my next trip. Only smile raised was seeing Wicked Divings signs on the walls there. Staff obviously used the time wisely, realising that most westerners would skip the food, wander round and eventually see their signs.
Ideas have never been a problem, time is the thing. Time is whats needed to inject humour... hours sitting at the bar drinking chang, chatting and thinking. Even on Thai time there arn't enough hours in the day, I try grabbing a Thai 5 minutes (between one and 2 hours) and thats not enough.
Most of the memoirs I noticed are totally out of order and I may just have to lump them into 4 groups and let them go. Please, more pics from France, Biking days, Thai life and HBC and thanks for the support.
So Thai time. Worked out a rough formula at the weekend when Peter said he would be along shortly!
5 mins on Thai Time is about 1 - 2 hours normally. As in I will be there in 5 minutes.
10 mins, 2 - 4 hours
Shortly - if I have time much later on.
Later. No way Jose
