the trip to phuket was good, but the predictable aftermath of the trip - sporting a mild fever and having a badly sunburnt body (from head to toe).
but nevertheless this didn't spoil the fun of the trip at all.
some sights and scenes from the trip:
the typical ang-moh dabor in phuket with a thai zhabor. these 2 have just walked down from an inn. nosey it might be but this was a notable observation there. many angmoh dabor were there alone or in group, for a purpose. and the thai version of SPGs were always ready to be pounced on. (the picture was distorted to prevent any unwanted complications)
hastily taken shots of the 'people-who-were-once-men-like-you-and-i', to escape their eager advancement on us. this was taken in a bar where all the 'girls' dancing were 'once-men'. i must say some of them are really pretty (tall, hourglass figure, skimpily dressed, and do not even have a single spot of cellulite seen on their thighs). but even so, their zeal and enthusiasm to invite you for dances and phot0-taking was enough to leave a massive gap between them and a watching crowd. it is notable that one badly wasted angmor dabor (probably too drunk to be conscious of what he was doing) jumped onto one of the dancing stands and started grinding the girls, in the event getting his willy touched and carressed by a few of them. and not long later, he pulled off the undergarment of one of the girls and revealed his/her silicon boobs before his hands did his stuffs on them. let's hope that he woke up the next day without any incling of what he did.
bangla street (where all the nightclubs are) in the day and night. see the difference.
and now...to the beach...
holiday-makers sun-tanning on the beach, and a thai hawker trying to get some business.
and more shots from the beach...where my attempt to suntan caused a much unwanted sunburn. where we saw many many many many ladies baring it all. this reminds me of a forum i read about tioman, where a debate went on about whether angmoh zhabor should be allowed to suntan half-naked or go skinny dipping. but apparently, despite the fact that mainstream thais are still pretty conservative (except those in the cities, from what i observed), nobody bothers when they are in holiday mode.
and that's me, and my two counterparts. 3 asian holiday-makers, a rare sight i must say for the rest who were there. note the lady to the back and right of myself in the picture.
a good trip it was, and i think it's a good year to look ahead to as well.
happy new year!
