Trip to Thailand

'Bangkok Hilton'. Breaking free: 

just kidding.)) 

it is +31C in Bangkok ... at 7 am. Gets up to 45 in afternoon. Somehow it's fine. I think humidity helps.

Bible in the hotels? Nope. But there's Buddha's teachings:

And so we were converted to Buddhism and went on our first shrine to see the Sleeping Buddha in Bangkok:

I think he's an oozing Buddha since his eyes are not fully closed.

then I remembered, I needed to put on some lipstick!

These are very interesting. Whatever they are. Monks should know...

Probably picturing reincarnation:

and some 'Da Vinci code':

Remember to spend some time near the rooftop pools in Bangkok. It's quiet, clean air and great view from floor 25 or higher.

Then go see some weird statues and people praying near them.

so we prayed that we magically appeared on Ko Samui island and it was a success!

welcome to Ko Samui:

try young coconut juice!

it's good for you though, you'll outlive all your friends and relatives drinking that. cool, right? i know. 

better enjoy some swimming in the infinity pool overlooking the sea. well, if you go to the actual sea remember to wear a tight fit swimming suit or those waves can undress you very easily. freaking sea harassment!

Get a load of those views:

almost every morning started like this:

it was our villa's balcony. oh and the fruits we ate on that terrace!!

i feel so deprived now! passion fruit tastes wonderful. also helps make amazing alcoholic cocktails!

but remember, we're non alcoholics anonymous! 

menus in Thailand are great source of giggles. try some mushroom omret with fried gee and Barcadi beverage:

shoud we call it "Thinglish"? like they call "Chinglish" that Chinese English 'dialect'?

To be fair, if I was asked to write a menu in Thai, It'd probably be as much fun. Unless it'd have gotten me in jail for obscenity)))

But Thais seem friendly. Or at least they seem non-violent, cool and laid back and minding their own business. With some exceptions, of course, like that angry monk who yelled something at me as I was trying to approach Big Buddha wearing such indecent outfit as this:

thing is, i'd asked hotel stuff if i should go back to fetch my scarf to cover my - irresistably sexy, ruining every monk's meditation and fasting schedule - shoudlers, but he said it was ok to go like this. Well, not for that angry monk pointing at this ridiculous sign which seem to feature his personal porn collection right there:

I wasn't wearing any of that, decisively not! But seriously, there's a smarter way to inform people which parts of the body should be covered. Instead of publishig several naughty pictures, publish one that features the required minimum of clothes. lol

We saw those free scarves but decided to pass. Other people have worn them. Sweaty people. No. And to buy a new one 3 times the price from sellers nearby - no again. And the stairs were too high, and the Buddha was already visible anyway, so we took pictures right there and went to see other things.

hey, this is a nice selfie!

and this one here is probably the best place we've been to atmosphere wise. on the sea shore, sitting on pillows, smoking a water pipe and sipping passion fruit cocktails. these are some people in front of us:

to protect your feet from all sorts of things in the sea I recommend these shoes:

and this is near our villa. pretty much livin in the garden, overlooking the sea, 10 meters away from the pool and the canteen. that's hard to beat.

but all good things come to an end. hell, you're lucky if they even begin once in a while, right?
