Bangkok, thailand July 2024

112˚ days, 89˚ nights, 95% humidity

 

Began with hitting my head entering the first Tuk-Tuk. Pad Thai in China Town. $0.30 subway ride. Rooftop bar with views of Wat Pho. Four different pairs of elephant pants. Massive golden sleeping Buddha. Kidnapped by Tuk-Tuk driver and dropped on outskirts of the city. 1000 Baht ransom. $3.00 Michelin star fried noodles. 5-star duck. Khun Phaen Plai Kaew…the best beer I’ve ever had. Mosaic towers of the Old Palace. Kitchen in an alley. Chatuchak Weekend market is not as cool during the week. Strippers, fake Patagonia t-shirts, Euros games, and a few pints of Chang all on a chaotic Khosan Road. $2.00 card minimum at 7-11 means endless fresh coconut water.
