10 Nov. Marshall comes to BKK

My old roommate from RI came to visit for 5 days. So we did some tourist stuff. First night I took him to Soi Cowboy where all the nudie bars are, he was impressed by the hot chicks. The next day I just showed him some malls as he was hung over.

Then we went to the Jim Thompson House. This guy introduced the West to the Thai silk industry in the mid 1900s. He vanished in the woods one day; I assume he was eaten by a jaguar. We also caught Wat Pho, where the reclining Budda does that.

Later we went to the old capital Ayutthaya and saw some temples with my buddy Bob. Lots of large cock, as in chikens, statues in this town.

Then we hit up some Muay Thai boxing. We paid $60 for ringside seats and saw 6 fights. These guys were from 12 to 20+ years old and 90-139 pounds but they all fought hardcore. They fight 5 rounds, 3 minutes each round. The second fight we saw lasted 15 seconds as a guy got knocked out from a kick to the temple.

We later took a river boat ride around BKK and saw Wat Arun and the Grand Palace in BKK. I also showed him Nana, where all the ladyboys hang out. Although married with a kid, Marshall now knows he's gay because the ladyboys are seriously good looking. Check the Picasa for all the pics. http://picasaweb.google.com/ttakata73
