Sawadee!!
Hi there all! I am trying to scoot along and get you all got up on our travels before we start traveling some more. I wanted to tell you something I forgot that happened on Tuesday. Before we went out on the town on Tuesday we all decided to hang out by the hotel pool and play this game where one person holds a phone on their head that says movie titles, animals, or other categories of things and then everyone has to give them hints until they guess what the word is on their head. We were all playing this game and the word was chocolate. Jill had the phone on her head and we were all giving her hints. I said, "This is something I hate, but most girls like on their period". After this hint Jill yelled, "TAMPONS!". This is only hilarious because I am not sure why Jill thought tampons were something I hate. =P We are still making fun of her for this answer.
Anyways, this post is green because the color of Wednesday is green. Wednesday was a fairly mellow day and we took it easy to prepare for our trip the the elephant camp. For orientation we had a Thai Visa class to better understand what we needed to do to get our visas/permits to work in the country and they need all but my DNA to grant me this permit. Fingers crossed it is an easy task.
After our day of orientation and Thai classes we decided to go back to Charley Brown's Mexican restaurant for dinner and to go explore more of the Soi 11 neighborhood in the early evening. There were 6 of us who wanted to go and we decided to be cheap, so we all piled in to one shared cab.
Naturally we hit a ton of traffic and by the end of the cab ride with five of us in the back we all had limbs that were sleeping and were good and sweaty. Our tall friend Dustin got the front seat, but he was still pretty cramped against the glove compartment. Being tall is Thailand isn't going so great for him. =P
The taste of these tacos was well worth the uncomfortable cab ride though. Tastes like home to me. You may be thinking that we shouldn't be sick of the food yet and we aren't but you try eating white rice for every meal and tell me you don't want a taco! haha
We really enjoyed walking around the streets of Soi 11, but there was an interesting variety of items for sale on the streets. There was anything from mens underwear, fake watches, and wooden souvenirs to sex stands in the middle of the walk way. Only in Bangkok could you find all of these things on one street right next to each other. Obviously it wasn't the sex shops that made us enjoy this area, but it really was a fun little street to walk down and we practiced our bartering skills. I also had the opportunity to practice my Thai: Mai Ow= No thank you, but in an impolite tone to get the street vendors to leave you alone.
After a few hours of roaming the city streets near soi 11 we called it a night very early and packed our bags for Khanchantburi and the elephant park! =)
Wednesday wasn't very eventful. Don't say I never told ya! 555 (remember ha ha ha)
Night Night
