[spitfiredealer]

I am off to bangkok for a stag do in feb. I bet i see lots of bikes of a different kind…

[Giles]

I doubt I'd even want to shake your hand for at least a week after you got back….

[spitfiredealer]

no you wouldn't

[Giles]

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....

[Seul]

Holy cow @ that sea of Snoopies!..

[Giles]

On the BTS on the way to bike HQ…

And even 3 up, they manage to overtake Paula….

[Giles]

Snack stop…

[Giles]

Chinese Bhuddist temple…

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......

[Seul]

[Chris]

I like that she wears Docs with the dress.

[rocket]

yeah the rebel youth of today…

Nothing quite prepares me for the madness that is the Pronto Denim Carnival.  We took 108 pairs of PDC3 jeans with us, 2.5 hours after the doors opened, we had 2 pairs left….

[Anesthetist]

That's intense. They definitely take denim collecting up a notch. I really like the pictures of the temple and all of the history/ culture involved.
Not to derail but I also see you have joined the club of the accused. I was added when I didn't respond to a PM fast enough…. Definitely notable nazi behavior.

[Giles]

I have a lot of photos to post (and I mean a lot). Will start doing so tomorrow.

If I said that Thailand has the most incredibly intense denim culture anywhere on earth, I would only start to describe it.

There is simply nowhere like this on the planet.

Few of my friends in malaysia travelling to bangkok only to see you guys in action..it's a great annual denim event for southeast asia and it's resembling an inazuma festival for some of us

[Giles]

Tom-san goes to Inazuma every year.  This was her first Denim Carnival.  She was simply blown away.  I had to show her photos of what the event was actually like, as she did not surface (her job was sorting out piles of paid for stuff) for hours today…...
