    Songkran

    Hello,

    Havent been around here in a while. SO i thought id put up a few pics from Songkran. In thailand everyyear to celebrate the new year (april15 to 19) The entire country has a huge waterfight. Along with the smearing and flinging of baby powder. Here are a few pictures of it. (im not taking credit for these pics, but they give a good idea. Ill put some of my own, more boring ones, if anyone wants. My camera is not waterproof, so i didnt get any pics in the heat of combat, just from afar.

    This first pic is a good example of what its like. hehe

    On the 19th in Pattaya it gets really crazy. Its hard to really explain the chaos that goes on.

    Good day everyone.

    Red face

    One night in Bangkok

    THE AMERICAN:

    Scene from the music video
    Bangkok, Oriental setting
    And the city don't know what the city is getting
    The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
    Show with everything but Yul Brynner

    Time flies -- doesn't seem a minute
    Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
    All change -- don't you know that when you
    Play at this level there's no ordinary venue

    It's Iceland -- or the Philippines -- or Hastings -- or --
    or this place!

    COMPANY:

    One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
    The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
    You'll find a god in every golden cloister
    And if you're lucky then the god's a she
    I can feel an angel sliding up to me

    THE AMERICAN:

    One town's very like another
    When your head's down over your pieces, brother

    COMPANY:

    It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
    To be looking at the board, not looking at the city

    THE AMERICAN:

    I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
    Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town --

    COMPANY:

    Tea, girls, warm, sweet
    Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite

    THE AMERICAN:

    Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
    Whose every move's among the purest
    I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine

    COMPANY:

    One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
    Not much between despair and ecstasy
    One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
    Can't be too careful with your company
    I can feel the devil walking next to me

    THE AMERICAN:

    Siam's gonna be the witness
    To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
    This grips me more than would a
    Muddy old river or reclining Buddha

    Scene from the music video
    And thank God I'm only watching the game -- controlling it --

    I don't see you guys rating
    The kind of mate I'm contemplating
    I'd let you watch, I would invite you
    But the queens we use would not excite you

    So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage
    parlours --

    COMPANY:

    One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
    The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
    You'll find a god in every golden cloister
    A little flesh, a little history
    I can feel an angel sliding up to me

    One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
    Not much between despair and ecstasy
    One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
    Can't be too careful with your company
    I can feel the devil walking next to me

    Man I thought you were just passing through and I didn't know you actualy lived there until I got back and searched the boards.

    BTW A few of us are trying to plan a trip back there in January. Maybe we can meet up then. We are staying in Pattaya for sure if we go to Thialand.

    Damn that sucks man. We must have passed that area about a million times. I'd give anything to live close to Simon's bar. The bar in the back on the right was were I spent every spare minute I could. It had a great view and there was one chick there that was alot of fun.

    We ended up staying at the Roof Garden Inn thats up 2nd road a bit. We are talking about staying at the Vault next time. We keep hearing it is pretty good and its not as far away.
