SE Asia and Pronto Denim Carnival 2014

[Giles]

Next stop was at a salt works.  The factory was not working when we were there, as the "slum dwellers" only work a 6 hour shift.  This is a sort of unwritten rule between the employees and the workers, it allows them to more easily hold down 2 jobs to help make ends meet…

After the salt works we cycled to the river and caught a couple of long tailed boats over to The Jungle AKA the lung of Bangkok…

Puppies kipping everywhere…

Decided not to risk this one…

Bangkok is so nice, stayed there with my parents for some days, but it was many moons ago…

Interesting photos Giles especially the salt works. It's 30F and snow on the ground here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in case you're up for a little schadenfreude…

Awesome G! Really interesting day.

Construction somewhere in the jungle…

And back across the river to Bangkok…

Sat down for dinner with H and the crew tonight…

G "So what do you want to do tomorrow"
H "Go bike ride"

A phone call later, we have it sorted.  Thai/English/Japanese* speaking guide, will take us to the flower market, a floating market and a "locals only restaurant"........Roll on 10:00

• That would be Matthew our guide from yesterday.  Who is Thai, multilingual, gay and delightful.....

[Giles]

If I don't take the girls here before we leave, my life will not be worth living…..

Well, 1 out of 3 aint bad.  We did not do the floating market or have lunch.  We did some brilliant other stuff though....

And just to confirm to those fecking weirdo Germans that we have to keep banning (well actually it's the same arsehole), yes I am a rampant neo nazi and fascist pig….Oh, wait the swastika is one of the oldest symbols in the world......
