Thats right! They have.
I’m back in Bangkok after narrowly escaping unending back pain and muscle ache due to sleeping on two halfs of two doors. But it was nice that on the way out the person that was supposed to be caring for me asked me for money… ouch. I gave him some bhat.. I didn’t mind.
The first time I was in Bangkok I was awed and continually impressed by tuk tuk’s. Now I pass through the crowd with not so much as a side ways glance unless I see a clothing item with a dragon on it. I see all the other travelers and it’s nice to be around so many white people, but at the same time its really weird. I’m actually not used to it anymore. After a month and half of being the only english speaker you tend to be the centre of attention. People go out of their way for you constantly.. now i’m back in Bangkok and i’m not so famous anymore. I guess i’ll just have to get used to the fact that I’M NOT FAMOUS! le sigh.. Thai people in Bangkok are not interested in my signature, my picture, or my name. They are interested in where i’m going.. constantly I get the ol’ “hey you, where you go!?” or “you want ping pong show”.. hehe.. no. They only want to use me for my money.. and I can’t only live that down if it ends up being a really hot girl thats way younger than me.
SO .. now i’m off for a shower and some beer/food.. and maybe I will grab a fellow english speaker and chat them up..
Dig it.
