Just back from holies in Thailand!! First time overseas and got held for ransom on the first day in Bangkok…Shit!…bloody limo drivers…anyway desperate to get to the airport to fly to Phuket the shiny new green and gold WRX taxi looked inviting… probably should have assessed that a bit better.. The driver was all of 15 years old, sat on a cushion to see over the dash and didn’t speak a word of English! He must have sensed the urgency to get to the airport and floored it.. I stopped looking at the speedo when he hit 180 …it doesn’t sound so bad, but when there are no seatbelts, handles of any sort and the back seat is covered in nicely polished vinyl… you get my drift... but in good time I was arguing with the flight crew about trying to get my duty free grog on the plane
After a couple of days I was having withdrawals and sucked up my pride and hired a scooter for the rest of my stay… somewhat stupid in the sense that the paperwork states if your in an accident its your fault – They have this belief that if you hadn’t come, the accident wouldn’t have happened, so its your fault....hmmm
Riding over there you soon learn that the lines are only for decoration and speed limits are just ornamental signs…There are only 2 road laws 1. if it’s bigger than you.. get out of its way -elephants are f*%#&* big creatures when your on a scooter! And 2. Never ever go against the traffic! like 2 singapore birds..i didnt hang around for that ending…But you have to love the count down! The traffic lights have a 60 second count down to the green light…yeah there were so many lined up I lost count…
I saw only one stack- 2 German guys racing down the hill touched when they were almost at the bottom.. one lost a few toes and the other had massive gravel rash.. I saw him again a few days later all wrapped up and trying to swim in the sea…poor barstard..
I could go on and on..but I need to catch up on what’s been happening here!
So what’s the goss?.. it’s going to take me a while to get up to speed…
