The Adventures of Smell and Snott: Thailand!

The plan in Thailand was to do as little as possible and being the great little organized pair that we are we were able to follow the plan to perfection. After landing in Bangkok we spent a couple of drunken nights out and caught a ferry to glimpse Wat Pho, one of the many amazingly beautiful temples in Bangkok. After that we caught a bus to Ko Chang and spent the next 10 days lying on the beach, eating, drinking and generally undoing all the good work we had done trekking in Nepal and watching our tummies return.

Scott was able to go on one little adventure when he swam across to a nearby deserted island, exploring an abandoned resort – it was off season so the place had just recently closed down and because they didn’t expect in idiots to swim across from the main island everything was unlocked so Scott continued to have a little sticky beak until finally he was discovered by a group of wild snarling and barking dogs in which he decided it was a good idea to swim back to the main island.

So after our 10 lazy days in Ko Chang, we headed back up to Bangkok, where we met up with Nun (Shell’s friend from Summerville) and John (Shell’s Dad’s friend from the dinosaur days). It was fun catching up with them but the highlight was meeting a group of young Thai girls in this cool little half local half expat bar we found near our place. They kept buying us drinks and got us into all this cool nightclubs for free. We were sure that a catch was about to come every time we went out with them but it never did. Anyway it was a great laugh and we all had fun dancing around together like the drunken fools we were.
