It was another long weekend...
It's amazing how many holidays we have here in Thailand!
Normally, there's only about 16 public holidays. But because of the elections and other 'Royal Celebrations' it would probably close to a month this year.
I'm kinda lazy to blog, so I'm just putting everything in bullet points... sorry if I jump from one to another. And oh, I'll post some pictures tomorrow.
- I really enjoy playing with a lot of bubbles.
- Thai girls are still generally shy about their bodies, which I totally don't understand considering that they are all very thin.
- I feel like I'm 120lbs. walking in my pink swimwear. LOL. Well, its still decent! Sort of like a tank-top with a bikini bottom.
- It's more practical to wear 2-pc especially if you're going to the restroom.
- In Thailand, people don't play beach volleyball. They like playing beach football instead.
- By the way, football is what we normally refer to as soccer.
- I love football!
- Watching the World Cup is very addictive!
- Watching the World Cup and drinking beer is great.
- Watching the World Cup with cool farangs makes it even better.
- I love Cahill of Australia. And Kaka of Brazil. At least I know more players now and not just Beckham.
- I wish USA would score a goal. LOL. I don't expect them to win, but at least have one decent goal for the entire World Cup duration.
- I don't really care who wins the World Cup though.
- I hate that my skin is darker. again.
- I love riding speedboats! It's scary but a whole lot of fun.
- Koh Samet is my favorite island - very near Bangkok with all the right people, bars and restaurants.
- Pattaya without the Hard Rock Foam Party is plain pathetic and sleazy.
- Drinking from small plastic buckets with a lot of straws is the 'in' thing.
- Pick-up trucks and motorcycle taxis are more popular modes of transportation... even more than the 'tuktuks'.
- I can never and will never ever ride a motorcycle taxi...
- I'm willing to pay 150baht for a 5-min ride in a pick-up. I can't ride at the back though. I'd rather sit in front with the driver.
- I love crabs. I think I ate almost 2 kilos during the entire trip.
- I love the beach, even if I don't know how to swim.
- I left my 795baht flipflops at the Hard Rock parking lot. LOL. I removed it and went inside the car bare feet. I just forgot to bring it in with me. It probably looks weird to have a pair of flipflops in a middle of an empty parking space.
- I'm halfway reading "The Lipstick Jungle" while I was on the beach drinking beer. I think I see my future in the three characters...
- It's great to mingle with foreigners on the beach... aroi mak mak!
- I will definitely go back to Koh Samet soon.
Watch out for pictures. Kailangan nakaupo ka when you see it. Wala na namang akong takot. Kahit na ilang kape pa ang inumin ko.
