Thai Trip

Gday all....

 

I'm back from my Thai holiday :) It was a great trip, but damn was it hot ! Its not the heat, its actually the humidity thats the killer...

 

I did heaps of shopping in "The land of 1000 bootlegs" :p

 

some memorable things in point form :

 

* SHOPPING !

* Thai Women :) MMRREEOOOW !

* 3 huge pools at hotel

* Phuket Zoo crocodile and elephant show

* I patted a tiger ! MMRREEOOOW !

* Getting arrested for showing Thai women naked pics of Sithy(as per his request) :p

* Secluded fishing village on the water, inhabited by Thai Muslim families. This tiny floating village, with only 300 ppl had a net cafe and 3 ps2s ! Though usually weary of outsiders, I think being muslim helped when I approached the kids in this cafe.... Shortly thereafter I was challenged to a few games on FIFA 2004.... I got PWNED by a 12 year old :(:D (and I actually used to think I was damn good at that game)

 

I would thoroughly recommend it as a trip, as long as you think you can handle sweltering conditions :D

 

I'm just in the process of uploading all my pics, I'll put them up asap :D

No, this was NOT taken at a brothel, but at a theme park called "Phuket FantaSea" This was actually in front of 'Game Town' the amusement/arcade centre

here's some other tidbits...

 

I purchased many GBA games for $3 ea, some of which were apparently bootlegs :eek: I was very glad to pick up Final Fantasy I on the GBA, even though it has actually never been released on GBA. Its a fully working NES version port, with box n all ! :D

GBA bootlegs sometimes have inappropriate or innaccurate instruction manuals :D This came with FIFA 2004 ( a SOCCER game)

Anyone that has seen the 1974 James Bond movie "The Man With The Golden Gun" will recognise this rock...it was Christoper Lee's secret base... Silly western tourists are encouraged to adopt bond-like poses when photograped in front of it..... This island is now called 'James Bond Island' for tourists' sake :D

I'll post a few of the elephants and crocs when I get them up....
